Our memory management kernel CI testing at Red Hat uses the VM selftests and we have run into two problems: First, our LTP tests overlap with the VM selftests. We want to avoid unhelpful redundancy in our testing practices. Second, we have observed the current run_vmtests.sh to report overall failure/ambiguous results in the case that a machine lacks the necessary hardware to perform one or more of the tests. E.g. ksm tests that require more than one numa node. We want to be able to run the vm selftests suitable to particular hardware. Add the ability to run one or more groups of vm tests via run_vmtests.sh instead of simply all-or-none in order to solve these problems. Preserve existing default behavior of running all tests when the script is invoked with no arguments. Documentation of test groups is included in the patch as follows: # ./run_vmtests.sh [ -h || --help ] usage: ./tools/testing/selftests/vm/run_vmtests.sh [ -h | -t "<categories>"] -t: specify specific categories to tests to run -h: display this message The default behavior is to run all tests. Alternatively, specific groups tests can be run by passing a string to the -t argument containing one or more of the following categories separated by spaces: - mmap tests for mmap(2) - gup_test tests for gup using gup_test interface - userfaultfd tests for userfaultfd(2) - compaction a test for the patch "Allow compaction of unevictable pages" - mlock tests for mlock(2) - mremap tests for mremap(2) - hugevm tests for very large virtual address space - vmalloc vmalloc smoke tests - hmm hmm smoke tests - madv_populate test memadvise(2) MADV_POPULATE_{READ,WRITE} options - memfd_secret test memfd_secret(2) - process_mrelease test process_mrelease(2) - ksm ksm tests that do not require >=2 NUMA nodes - ksm_numa ksm tests that require >=2 NUMA nodes - pkey memory protection key tests - soft_dirty test soft dirty page bit semantics - anon_cow test anonymous copy-on-write semantics example: ./run_vmtests.sh -t "hmm mmap ksm" Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221018231222.1884715-1-jsavitz@redhat.comSigned-off-by: Joel Savitz <jsavitz@redhat.com> Cc: Joel Savitz <jsavitz@redhat.com> Cc: Nico Pache <npache@redhat.com> Cc: Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
