selftest: memcg: skip memcg_sock test if address family not supported

2026-04-05T20:53:27+00:00

The test_memcg_sock test in memcontrol.c sets up an IPv6 socket and send data over it to consume memory and verify that memory.stat.sock and memory.current values are close. On systems where IPv6 isn't enabled or not configured to support SOCK_STREAM, the test_memcg_sock test always fails. When the socket() call fails, there is no way we can test the memory consumption and verify the above claim. I believe it is better to just skip the test in this case instead of reporting a test failure hinting that there may be something wrong with the memcg code.

selftests: cgroup: make test_memcg_sock robust against delayed sock stats

2025-12-08T18:44:54+00:00

test_memcg_sock() currently requires that memory.stat's "sock " counter is exactly zero immediately after the TCP server exits. On a busy system this assumption is too strict: - Socket memory may be freed with a small delay (e.g. RCU callbacks). - memcg statistics are updated asynchronously via the rstat flushing worker, so the "sock " value in memory.stat can stay non-zero for a short period of time even after all socket memory has been uncharged. As a result, test_memcg_sock() can intermittently fail even though socket memory accounting is working correctly. Make the test more robust by polling memory.stat for the "sock " counter and allowing it some time to drop to zero instead of checking it only once. The timeout is set to 3 seconds to cover the periodic rstat flush interval (FLUSH_TIME = 2*HZ by default) plus some scheduling slack. If the counter does not become zero within the timeout, the test still fails as before. On my test system, running test_memcontrol 50 times produced: - Before this patch: 6/50 runs passed. - After this patch: 50/50 runs passed.

Quoting the cover letter: This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition. As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec reboot.

selftests: memcg: increase error tolerance of child memory.current check in test_memcg_protection()

2025-05-13T23:28:07+00:00

The test_memcg_protection() function is used for the test_memcg_min and test_memcg_low sub-tests. This function generates a set of parent/child cgroups like: parent: memory.min/low = 50M child 0: memory.min/low = 75M, memory.current = 50M child 1: memory.min/low = 25M, memory.current = 50M child 2: memory.min/low = 0, memory.current = 50M After applying memory pressure, the function expects the following actual memory usages. parent: memory.current ~= 50M child 0: memory.current ~= 29M child 1: memory.current ~= 21M child 2: memory.current ~= 0 In reality, the actual memory usages can differ quite a bit from the expected values. It uses an error tolerance of 10% with the values_close() helper. Both the test_memcg_min and test_memcg_low sub-tests can fail sporadically because the actual memory usage exceeds the 10% error tolerance. Below are a sample of the usage data of the tests runs that fail. Child Actual usage Expected usage %err ----- ------------ -------------- ---- 1 16990208 22020096 -12.9% 1 17252352 22020096 -12.1% 0 37699584 30408704 +10.7% 1 14368768 22020096 -21.0% 1 16871424 22020096 -13.2% The current 10% error tolerenace might be right at the time test_memcontrol.c was first introduced in v4.18 kernel, but memory reclaim have certainly evolved quite a bit since then which may result in a bit more run-to-run variation than previously expected. Increase the error tolerance to 15% for child 0 and 20% for child 1 to minimize the chance of this type of failure. The tolerance is bigger for child 1 because an upswing in child 0 corresponds to a smaller %err than a similar downswing in child 1 due to the way %err is used in values_close(). Before this patch, a 100 test runs of test_memcontrol produced the following results: 17 not ok 1 test_memcg_min 22 not ok 2 test_memcg_low After applying this patch, there were no test failure for test_memcg_min and test_memcg_low in 100 test runs. However, these tests may still fail once in a while if the memory usage goes beyond the newly extended range.
