[PATCH v3 4/4] selftests/vm/transhuge-stress: stress test for memory compaction

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Sat Sep 27 2014 - 15:16:07 EST


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
