[PATCH v3 2/2] selftests: KVM: use dirty logging to check if page stats work correctly
From: Mingwei Zhang
Date: Mon Aug 30 2021 - 00:44:45 EST
When dirty logging is enabled, KVM splits the hugepage mapping in NPT/EPT
into the smallest 4K size after guest VM writes to it. This property could
be used to check if the page stats metrics work properly in KVM x86/mmu. At
the same time, this logic might be used the other way around: using page
stats to verify if dirty logging really splits all huge pages after guest
VM writes to all memory.
So add page stats checking in dirty logging performance selftest. In
particular, add checks in three locations:
- just after vm is created;
- after populating memory into vm without turning on dirty logging;
- after guest vm writing to all memory again with dirty logging turned on.
Tested using commands:
- ./dirty_log_perf_test -s anonymous_hugetlb_1gb
- ./dirty_log_perf_test -s anonymous_hugetlb_2mb
- ./dirty_log_perf_test -s anonymous_thp
