Subject: [LTP] [PATCH] madvise09: Make memory map output conditional and more informative
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 11:11:46 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401054146.99060-1-samir@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
The memory map was being printed unconditionally for every test run,
creating verbose output even for successful tests. This change makes
the output conditional and adds useful context.
Changes:
- Only display memory map when there are issues (corrupted pages or
no pages freed), eliminating verbose output for successful runs
- Add legend to memory map output explaining symbols:
p=present, _=freed, ?=corrupted
- Enhance TPASS message to show freed page count (e.g., "126/128 freed")
- Improve TFAIL message to show count of corrupted pages
Before:
TINFO: Memory map: p_________p_____________________...
TPASS: Pages MADV_FREE were freed on low memory
After (successful run):
TPASS: Pages MADV_FREE were freed on low memory (126/128 freed)
After (failure with issues):
TINFO: Memory map: p_________p??___ (p=present, _=freed, ?=corrupted)
TFAIL: Found 2 corrupted page(s)
This improves test output readability while preserving debugging
information when needed.
