Subject: [PATCH 2/2] selftests/mm: fix ksm NUMA merge test for systems with memoryless NUMA nodes
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 18:10:17 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8540b58ef1fdbc2e5cb2f9fe28a2d2a54a5bc6a8.1782365671.git.sayalip@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1782365671.git.sayalip@linux.ibm.com>

The KSM NUMA merge test allocates identical pages on different NUMA
nodes and verifies KSM behavior with merge_across_nodes enabled and
disabled.

On systems with memoryless NUMA nodes, for example:
 #numactl  -H
      available: 2 nodes (0,4)
      .....
      node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
      node 0 size: 14825 MB
      node 0 free: 1382 MB
      node 4 cpus:
      node 4 size: 0 MB
      node 4 free: 0 MB

the test may attempt to allocate memory on a node without memory,
causing numa_alloc_onnode() to fail and resulting in a spurious test
failure.

Add count_mem_nodes() helper to count only nodes with memory and use it
instead of numa_num_configured_nodes() to ensure the test runs only on
systems with at least two NUMA nodes that have memory. Skip the test
otherwise.

Before patch:
       ---------------------------
	running ./ksm_tests -N -m 1
       ---------------------------
        mbind: Invalid argument
        ok 1 KSM NUMA merging
	Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
        [PASS]
       ok 1 ksm_tests -N -m 1
       ---------------------------
        running ./ksm_tests -N -m 0
       ---------------------------
        mbind: Invalid argument
        not ok 1 KSM NUMA merging
	Totals: pass:0 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
        [FAIL]
       not ok 2 ksm_tests -N -m 0 # exit=1

After patch:
       ---------------------------
        running ./ksm_tests -N -m 1
       ---------------------------
        SKIP At least 2 NUMA nodes with memory must be available
	Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:1 error:0
        [SKIP]
        ok 1 ksm_tests -N -m 1 # SKIP
       ---------------------------
        running ./ksm_tests -N -m 0
       ---------------------------
        SKIP At least 2 NUMA nodes with memory must be available
	Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:1 error:0
        [SKIP]
        ok 2 ksm_tests -N -m 0 # SKIP
