[PATCH 08/15] tools/testing/slab: Add object migration test suite

[Tobin C. Harding]

We just added a module that enables testing the SLUB allocators ability
to defrag/shrink caches via movable objects.  Tests are better when they
are automated.

Add automated testing via a python script for SLUB movable objects.

Example output:

  $ cd path/to/linux/tools/testing/slab
  $ /slub_defrag.py
  Please run script as root

  $ sudo ./slub_defrag.py
  <test are quiet, no output on success>

  $ sudo ./slub_defrag.py --debug
  Loading module ...
  Slab cache smo_test created
  Objects per slab: 20
  Running sanity checks ...

  Running module stress test (see dmesg for additional test output) ...
  Removing module slub_defrag ...
  Loading module ...
  Slab cache smo_test created

  Running test non-movable ...
  testing slab 'smo_test' prior to enabling movable objects ...
  verified non-movable slabs are NOT shrinkable

  Running test movable ...
  testing slab 'smo_test' after enabling movable objects ...
  verified movable slabs are shrinkable

  Removing module slub_defrag ...

+# SLUB Movable Objects test suite.
+#
+# Requirements:
+#  - CONFIG_SLUB=y
+#  - CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y
+#  - The slub_defrag module in this directory.
+
+# Test SMO using a kernel module that enables triggering arbitrary
+# kernel code from userspace via a debugfs file.
+#
+# Module code is in ./slub_defrag.c, basically the functionality is as
+# follows:
+#
+#  - Creates debugfs file /sys/kernel/debugfs/smo/callfn
+#  - Writes to 'callfn' are parsed as a command string and the function
+#    associated with command is called.
+#  - Defines 4 commands (all commands operate on smo_test cache):
+#     - 'test': Runs module stress tests.
+#     - 'alloc N': Allocates N slub objects
+#     - 'free N POS': Frees N objects starting at POS (see below)
+#     - 'enable': Enables SLUB Movable Objects
+#
+# The module maintains a list of allocated objects.  Allocation adds
+# objects to the tail of the list.  Free'ing frees from the head of the
+# list.  This has the effect of creating free slots in the slab.  For
+# finer grained control over where in the cache slots are free'd POS
+# (position) argument may be used.
+
+# The main() function is reasonably readable; the test suite does the
+# following:
+#
+# 1. Runs the module stress tests.
+# 2. Tests the cache without movable objects enabled.
+#    - Creates multiple partial slabs as explained above.
+#    - Verifies that partial slabs are _not_ removed by shrink (see below).
+# 3. Tests the cache with movable objects enabled.
+#    - Creates multiple partial slabs as explained above.
+#    - Verifies that partial slabs _are_ removed by shrink (see below).
+
+# The sysfs file /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/shrink enables calling the
+# function kmem_cache_shrink() (see mm/slab_common.c and mm/slub.cc).
+# Shrinking a cache attempts to consolidate all partial slabs by moving
+# objects if object migration is enable for the cache, otherwise
+# shrinking a cache simply re-orders the partial list so as most densely
+# populated slab are at the head of the list.
+
+# Enable/disable debugging output (also enabled via -d | --debug).
