This patchset aims to fix various spurious failures and improve the overall
robustness of the cgroup zswap selftests.
The primary motivation is to make the tests compatible with architectures
that use non-4K page sizes (such as 64K on ppc64le and arm64). Currently,
the tests rely heavily on hardcoded 4K page sizes and fixed memory limits.
On 64K page size systems, these hardcoded values lead to sub-page granularity
accesses, incorrect page count calculations, and insufficient memory pressure
to trigger zswap writeback, ultimately causing the tests to fail.
Additionally, this series addresses OOM kills occurring in test_swapin_nozswap
by dynamically scaling memory limits, and prevents spurious test failures
when zswap is built into the kernel but globally disabled.
Changes in v4:
Patch 2: Use %zu format specifier when printing pagesize.
Patch 4: Use page_size instead of BUF_SIZE in test_memcontrol.c.
Patch 6: Print the expected swap amount in KB instead of MB.
Tested on v6.12:
across x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le archs.
