af3b7d09a9 selftests/mm: compaction_test: fix off by one in check_compaction()
The "initial_nr_hugepages" variable is unsigned long so it takes up to 20
characters to print, plus 1 more character for the NUL terminator. 
Unfortunately, this buffer is not quite large enough for the terminator to
fit.  Also use snprintf() for a belt and suspenders approach.

fb9293b6b0 selftests/mm: compaction_test: fix bogus test success and reduce probability of OOM-killer invocation
Reset nr_hugepages to zero before the start of the test.

If a non-zero number of hugepages is already set before the start of the
test, the following problems arise:

 - The probability of the test getting OOM-killed increases.  Proof:
   The test wants to run on 80% of available memory to prevent OOM-killing
   (see original code comments).  Let the value of mem_free at the start
   of the test, when nr_hugepages = 0, be x.  In the other case, when
   nr_hugepages > 0, let the memory consumed by hugepages be y.  In the
   former case, the test operates on 0.8 * x of memory.  In the latter,
   the test operates on 0.8 * (x - y) of memory, with y already filled,
   hence, memory consumed is y + 0.8 * (x - y) = 0.8 * x + 0.2 * y > 0.8 *
   x.  Q.E.D

 - The probability of a bogus test success increases.  Proof: Let the
   memory consumed by hugepages be greater than 25% of x, with x and y
   defined as above.  The definition of compaction_index is c_index = (x -
   y)/z where z is the memory consumed by hugepages after trying to
   increase them again.  In check_compaction(), we set the number of
   hugepages to zero, and then increase them back; the probability that
   they will be set back to consume at least y amount of memory again is
   very high (since there is not much delay between the two attempts of
   changing nr_hugepages).  Hence, z >= y > (x/4) (by the 25% assumption).
   Therefore, c_index = (x - y)/z <= (x - y)/y = x/y - 1 < 4 - 1 = 3
   hence, c_index can always be forced to be less than 3, thereby the test
   succeeding always.  Q.E.D

9ad665ef55 selftests/mm: compaction_test: fix incorrect write of zero to nr_hugepages
Currently, the test tries to set nr_hugepages to zero, but that is not
actually done because the file offset is not reset after read().  Fix that
using lseek().

d4202e66a4 selftests/mm: compaction_test: fix bogus test success on Aarch64
Patch series "Fixes for compaction_test", v2.

The compaction_test memory selftest introduces fragmentation in memory
and then tries to allocate as many hugepages as possible. This series
addresses some problems.

On Aarch64, if nr_hugepages == 0, then the test trivially succeeds since
compaction_index becomes 0, which is less than 3, due to no division by
zero exception being raised. We fix that by checking for division by
zero.

Secondly, correctly set the number of hugepages to zero before trying
to set a large number of them.

Now, consider a situation in which, at the start of the test, a non-zero
number of hugepages have been already set (while running the entire
selftests/mm suite, or manually by the admin). The test operates on 80%
of memory to avoid OOM-killer invocation, and because some memory is
already blocked by hugepages, it would increase the chance of OOM-killing.
Also, since mem_free used in check_compaction() is the value before we
set nr_hugepages to zero, the chance that the compaction_index will
be small is very high if the preset nr_hugepages was high, leading to a
bogus test success.


This patch (of 3):

Currently, if at runtime we are not able to allocate a huge page, the test
will trivially pass on Aarch64 due to no exception being raised on
division by zero while computing compaction_index.  Fix that by checking
for nr_hugepages == 0.  Anyways, in general, avoid a division by zero by
exiting the program beforehand.  While at it, fix a typo, and handle the
case where the number of hugepages may overflow an integer.

69e545edbe selftests/mm: ksft_exit functions do not return
After commit f7d5bcd35d ("selftests: kselftest: Mark functions that
unconditionally call exit() as __noreturn"), ksft_exit_...() functions
are marked as __noreturn, which means the return type should not be
'int' but 'void' because they are not returning anything (and never were
since exit() has always been called).

To facilitate updating the return type of these functions, remove
'return' before the calls to ksft_exit_...(), as __noreturn prevents the
compiler from warning that a caller of the ksft_exit functions does not
return a value because the program will terminate upon calling these
functions.

f3b7568c49 selftests/mm: log a consistent test name for check_compaction
Every test result report in the compaction test prints a distinct log
messae, and some of the reports print a name that varies at runtime.  This
causes problems for automation since a lot of automation software uses the
printed string as the name of the test, if the name varies from run to run
and from pass to fail then the automation software can't identify that a
test changed result or that the same tests are being run.

Refactor the logging to use a consistent name when printing the result of
the test, printing the existing messages as diagnostic information instead
so they are still available for people trying to interpret the results.

9c1490d911 selftests/mm: log skipped compaction test as a skip
Patch series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test".

A couple of small updates for the check_compaction selftest which make
it play more nicely with test automation systems.


This patch (of 2):

When the compaction test is run it checks to make sure that prerequistives
the test requires are available and skips the tests if not.  When this
happens we log the test as a pass rather than a skip, log as a skip so
that the distinction is clear and automation can see unexpected skips.
