[PATCH 1/2] selftests: cgroup: Use values_close_report in test_memcontrol
From: Sebastian Chlad
Date: Fri Sep 25 2026 - 23:50:08 EST
Convert the terminal tolerance checks in test_memcontrol to
values_close_report() so that a failure prints the observed and
expected values instead of failing silently. Also report the
"memory.current < size" check in alloc_anon_50M_check().
values_close() is kept where it is used as a loop or retry condition
(waiting for usage to settle in test_memcg_protection(), reclaim_until(),
the reclaim retry loop and the socket test), since a mismatch there is
expected and reporting it would print spurious failures.
