2023-06-12lib/test_vmalloc.c: avoid garbage in page arrayLorenzo Stoakes
It turns out that alloc_pages_bulk_array() does not treat the page_array parameter as an output parameter, but rather reads the array and skips any entries that have already been allocated. This is somewhat unexpected and breaks this test, as we allocate the pages array uninitialised on the assumption it will be overwritten. As a result, the test was referencing uninitialised data and causing the PFN to not be valid and thus a WARN_ON() followed by a null pointer deref and panic. In addition, this is an array of pointers not of struct page objects, so we need only allocate an array with elements of pointer size. We solve both problems by simply using kcalloc() and referencing sizeof(struct page *) rather than sizeof(struct page).

2019-03-05vmalloc: add test driver to analyse vmalloc allocatorUladzislau Rezki (Sony)
This adds a new kernel module for analysis of vmalloc allocator. It is only enabled as a module. There are two main reasons this module should be used for: performance evaluation and stressing of vmalloc subsystem. It consists of several test cases. As of now there are 8. The module has five parameters we can specify to change its the behaviour. 1) run_test_mask - set of tests to be run id: 1, name: fix_size_alloc_test id: 2, name: full_fit_alloc_test id: 4, name: long_busy_list_alloc_test id: 8, name: random_size_alloc_test id: 16, name: fix_align_alloc_test id: 32, name: random_size_align_alloc_test id: 64, name: align_shift_alloc_test id: 128, name: pcpu_alloc_test By default all tests are in run test mask. If you want to select some specific tests it is possible to pass the mask. For example for first, second and fourth tests we go 11 value. 2) test_repeat_count - how many times each test should be repeated By default it is one time per test. It is possible to pass any number. As high the value is the test duration gets increased. 3) test_loop_count - internal test loop counter. By default it is set to 1000000. 4) single_cpu_test - use one CPU to run the tests By default this parameter is set to false. It means that all online CPUs execute tests. By setting it to 1, the tests are executed by first online CPU only. 5) sequential_test_order - run tests in sequential order By default this parameter is set to false. It means that before running tests the order is shuffled. It is possible to make it sequential, just set it to 1. Performance analysis: In order to evaluate performance of vmalloc allocations, usually it makes sense to use only one CPU that runs tests, use sequential order, number of repeat tests can be different as well as set of test mask. For example if we want to run all tests, to use one CPU and repeat each test 3 times. Insert the module passing following parameters: single_cpu_test=1 sequential_test_order=1 test_repeat_count=3 with following output: <snip> Summary: fix_size_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 901177 usec Summary: full_fit_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 1039341 usec Summary: long_busy_list_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 11775763 usec Summary: random_size_alloc_test passed 3: failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 6081992 usec Summary: fix_align_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3, loops: 1000000 avg: 2003712 usec Summary: random_size_align_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 2895689 usec Summary: align_shift_alloc_test passed: 0 failed: 3 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 573 usec Summary: pcpu_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 95802 usec All test took CPU0=192945605995 cycles <snip> The align_shift_alloc_test is expected to be failed. Stressing: In order to stress the vmalloc subsystem we run all available test cases on all available CPUs simultaneously. In order to prevent constant behaviour pattern, the test cases array is shuffled by default to randomize the order of test execution. For example if we want to run all tests(default), use all online CPUs(default) with shuffled order(default) and to repeat each test 30 times. The command would be like: modprobe vmalloc_test test_repeat_count=30 Expected results are the system is alive, there are no any BUG_ONs or Kernel Panics the tests are completed, no memory leaks.
