2014-10-09selftests/vm/transhuge-stress: stress test for memory compactionKonstantin Khlebnikov1-0/+144
This tool induces memory fragmentation via sequential allocation of transparent huge pages and splitting off everything except their last sub-pages. It easily generates pressure to the memory compaction code. $ perf stat -e 'compaction:*' -e 'migrate:*' ./transhuge-stress transhuge-stress: allocate 7858 transhuge pages, using 15716 MiB virtual memory and 61 MiB of ram transhuge-stress: 1.653 s/loop, 0.210 ms/page, 9504.828 MiB/s 7858 succeed, 0 failed, 2439 different pages transhuge-stress: 1.537 s/loop, 0.196 ms/page, 10226.227 MiB/s 7858 succeed, 0 failed, 2364 different pages transhuge-stress: 1.658 s/loop, 0.211 ms/page, 9479.215 MiB/s 7858 succeed, 0 failed, 2179 different pages transhuge-stress: 1.617 s/loop, 0.206 ms/page, 9716.992 MiB/s 7858 succeed, 0 failed, 2421 different pages ^C./transhuge-stress: Interrupt Performance counter stats for './transhuge-stress': 1.744.051 compaction:mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages 1.014 compaction:mm_compaction_isolate_freepages 1.744.051 compaction:mm_compaction_migratepages 1.647 compaction:mm_compaction_begin 1.647 compaction:mm_compaction_end 1.744.051 migrate:mm_migrate_pages 0 migrate:mm_numa_migrate_ratelimit 7,964696835 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com> Cc: Rafael Aquini <aquini@redhat.com> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <ryabinin.a.a@gmail.com> Cc: Shuah Khan <shuahkh@osg.samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
