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

2026-06-01T15:29:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2d028f3e4bbbfd448928a8d3d2814b0b04c214f4 ] 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.

kseltest/cgroup: Make test_stress.sh work if run interactively

2022-06-09T08:21:30+00:00

commit 213adc63dfbcdff9a0c19ec1f2681fda9c05cf6d upstream. Commit 54de76c01239 ("kselftest/cgroup: fix test_stress.sh to use OUTPUT dir") changes the test_core command path from . to $OUTPUT. However, variable OUTPUT may not be defined if the command is run interactively. Fix that by using ${OUTPUT:-.} to cover both cases.

[ Upstream commit 54de76c0123915e7533ce352de30a1f2d80fe81f ] Running cgroup kselftest with O= fails to run the with_stress test due to hardcoded ./test_core.

selftests: cgroup: Test open-time cgroup namespace usage for migration checks

commit bf35a7879f1dfb0d050fe779168bcf25c7de66f5 upstream. When a task is writing to an fd opened by a different task, the perm check should use the cgroup namespace of the latter task.

commit b09c2baa56347ae65795350dfcc633dedb1c2970 upstream. 0644 is an odd perm to create a cgroup which is a directory. Use the regular 0755 instead. This is necessary for euid switching test case.

selftests/cgroup: Fix build on older distros

2022-04-13T19:01:10+00:00

commit c2e46f6b3e3551558d44c4dc518b9667cb0d5f8b upstream. On older distros struct clone_args does not have a cgroup member, leading to build errors: cgroup_util.c: In function 'clone_into_cgroup': cgroup_util.c:343:4: error: 'struct clone_args' has no member named 'cgroup' cgroup_util.c:346:33: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct clone_args' But the selftests already have a locally defined version of the structure which is up to date, called __clone_args. So use __clone_args which fixes the error.

kselftests: cgroup: add perpcu memory accounting test

Add a simple test to check the percpu memory accounting. The test creates a cgroup tree with 1000 child cgroups and checks values of memory.current and memory.stat::percpu.

kselftests: cgroup: add kernel memory accounting tests

2020-08-07T18:33:25+00:00

Add some tests to cover the kernel memory accounting functionality. These are covering some issues (and changes) we had recently. 1) A test which allocates a lot of negative dentries, checks memcg slab statistics, creates memory pressure by setting memory.max to some low value and checks that some number of slabs was reclaimed. 2) A test which covers side effects of memcg destruction: it creates and destroys a large number of sub-cgroups, each containing a multi-threaded workload which allocates and releases some kernel memory. Then it checks that the charge ans memory.stats do add up on the parent level. 3) A test which reads /proc/kpagecgroup and implicitly checks that it doesn't crash the system. 4) A test which spawns a large number of threads and checks that the kernel stacks accounting works as expected. 5) A test which checks that living charged slab objects are not preventing the memory cgroup from being released after being deleted by a user.
