2018-08-09	Add cgroup core selftests	Claudio	1	-0/+2
	This commit adds tests for some of the core functionalities of cgroups v2. The commit adds tests for some core principles of croup V2 API: - test_cgcore_internal_process_constraint Tests internal process constraint. You can't add a pid to a domain parent if a controller is enabled. - test_cgcore_top_down_constraint_enable Tests that you can't enable a controller on a child if it's not enabled on the parent. - test_cgcore_top_down_constraint_disable Tests that you can't disable a controller on a parent if it's enabled in a child. - test_cgcore_no_internal_process_constraint_on_threads Tests that there's no internal process constrain on threaded cgroups. You can add threads/processes on a parent with a controller enabled. - test_cgcore_parent_becomes_threaded Tests that when a child becomes threaded the parent type becomes domain threaded. - test_cgcore_invalid_domain In a situation like: A (domain threaded) - B (threaded) - C (domain) it tests that C can't be used until it is turned into a threaded cgroup. The "cgroup.type" file will report "domain (invalid)" in these cases. Operations which fail due to invalid topology use EOPNOTSUPP as the errno. - test_cgcore_populated In a situation like: A(0) - B(0) - C(1) \ D(0) It tests that A, B and C's "populated" fields would be 1 while D's 0. It tests that after the one process in C is moved to root, A,B and C's "populated" fields would flip to "0" and file modified events will be generated on the "cgroup.events" files of both cgroups.

2018-05-30	selftests: cgroup: add memory controller self-tests	Roman Gushchin	1	-0/+10
	Cgroups are used for controlling the physical resource distribution (memory, CPU, io, etc) and often are used as basic building blocks for large distributed computing systems. Even small differences in the actual behavior may lead to significant incidents. The codebase is under the active development, which will unlikely stop at any time soon. Also it's scattered over different kernel subsystems, which makes regressions more probable. Given that, the lack of any tests is crying. This patch implements some basic tests for the memory controller, as well as a minimal required framework. It doesn't pretend for a very good coverage, but pretends to be a starting point. Hopefully, any following significant changes will include corresponding tests. Tests for CPU and io controllers, as well as cgroup core are next in the todo list.
