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 Changes in v2: - Handle unsigned long number of hugepages v1: - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240515093633.54814-3-dev.jain@arm.com/ NOTE: This patch depends on the previous one.
