2023-07-14scftorture: Pause testing after memory-allocation failurePaul E. McKenney
The scftorture test can quickly execute a large number of calls to no-wait smp_call_function(), each of which holds a block of memory until the corresponding handler is invoked. Especially when the longwait module parameter is specified, this can chew up an arbitrarily large amount of memory. This commit therefore blocks after each memory-allocation failure, with the duration a function of longwait. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
2023-07-14scftorture: Forgive memory-allocation failure if KASANPaul E. McKenney
Kernels built with CONFIG_KASAN=y quarantine newly freed memory in order to better detect use-after-free errors. However, this can exhaust memory more quickly in allocator-heavy tests, which can result in spurious scftorture failure. This commit therefore forgives memory-allocation failure in kernels built with CONFIG_KASAN=y, but continues counting the errors for use in detailed test-result analyses. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
2022-04-11scftorture: Fix distribution of short handler delaysPaul E. McKenney
The scftorture test module's scf_handler() function is supposed to provide three different distributions of short delays (including "no delay") and one distribution of long delays, if specified by the scftorture.longwait module parameter. However, the second of the two non-zero-wait short delays is disabled due to the first such delay's "goto out" not being enclosed in the "then" clause with the "udelay()". This commit therefore adjusts the code to provide the intended set of delays. Fixes: e9d338a0b179 ("scftorture: Add smp_call_function() torture test") Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

2021-09-16scftorture: Warn on individual scf_torture_init() error conditionsPaul E. McKenney
When running scftorture as a module, any scf_torture_init() issues will be reflected in the error code from modprobe or insmod, as the case may be. However, these error codes are not available when running scftorture built-in, for example, when using the kvm.sh script. This commit therefore adds WARN_ON_ONCE() to allow distinguishing scf_torture_init() errors when running scftorture built-in. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
2021-09-16scftorture: Count reschedule IPIsPaul E. McKenney
Currently, only those IPIs that invoke scftorture's scf_handler() IPI handler function are counted. This means that runs exercising only scftorture.weight_resched will look like they have made no forward progress, resulting in "GP HANG" complaints from the rcutorture scripting. This commit therefore increments the scf_invoked_count per-CPU counter immediately after calling resched_cpu().

2021-09-16scftorture: Account for weight_resched when checking for all zeroesPaul E. McKenney
The "all zero weights makes no sense" error is emitted even when scftorture.weight_resched is non-zero because it was left out of the enclosing "if" condition. This commit adds it in. Fixes: 1ac78b49d61d4 ("scftorture: Add an alternative IPI vector") Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
2021-09-16scftorture: Shut down if nonsensical arguments givenPaul E. McKenney
If (say) a 10-hour scftorture run is started, but the module parameters are so nonsensical that the run doesn't even start, then scftorture will wait the full ten hours when run built into a guest OS. This commit therefore shuts down the system in this case so that the error is reported immediately instead of ten hours hence. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
2021-09-16scftorture: Allow zero weight to exclude an smp_call_function*() categoryPaul E. McKenney
This commit reworks the weighting calculations to allow zero to be specified to disable a given weight. For example, specifying the scftorture.weight_resched=0 kernel boot parameter without specifying a non-zero value for any of the other scftorture.weight_* parameters would provide the default weights for the others, but would refrain from doing any resched-based IPIs.

2021-07-27scftorture: Avoid NULL pointer exception on early exitPaul E. McKenney
When scftorture finds an error in the module parameters controlling the relative frequencies of smp_call_function*() variants, it takes an early exit. So early that it has not allocated memory to track the kthreads running the test, which results in a segfault. This commit therefore checks for the existence of the memory before attempting to stop the kthreads that would otherwise have been recorded in that non-existent memory. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
2021-07-27scftorture: Add RPC-like IPI testsPaul E. McKenney
This commit adds the single_weight_rpc module parameter, which causes the IPI handler to awaken the IPI sender. In many scheduler configurations, this will result in an IPI back to the sender that is likely to be received at a time when the sender CPU is idle. The intent is to stress IPI reception during CPU busy-to-idle transitions. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
