[PATCH v2 3/3] selftests: add zswapin and no zswap tests

From: Nhat Pham
Date: Wed Jan 31 2024 - 22:28:23 EST


Add a selftest to cover the zswapin code path, allocating more memory
than the cgroup limit to trigger swapout/zswapout, then reading the
pages back in memory several times. This is inspired by a recently
encountered kernel crash on the zswapin path in our internal kernel,
which went undetected because of a lack of test coverage for this path.

Add a selftest to verify that when memory.zswap.max = 0, no pages can go
to the zswap pool for the cgroup.
