The cover letter says: "Given that migration is a best-effort service, it is wrong to fail the test for just a single failure; hence, fail the test after 100 consecutive failures (where 100 is still a subjective choice)." You do want to mention the above here. The reason being, I would like to know what this does to the run-time of this test if migration fails and retried 100 times. > > Signed-off-by: Dev Jain <dev.jain@arm.com> > Suggested-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> > Reviewed-by: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@arm.com> > Tested-by: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@arm.com> > --- > tools/testing/selftests/mm/migration.c | 17 +++++++++++------ > 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/mm/migration.c b/tools/testing/selftests/mm/migration.c > index 6908569ef406..64bcbb7151cf 100644 > --- a/tools/testing/selftests/mm/migration.c > +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/mm/migration.c > @@ -15,10 +15,10 @@ > #include <signal.h> > #include <time.h> > > -#define TWOMEG (2<<20) > -#define RUNTIME (20) > - > -#define ALIGN(x, a) (((x) + (a - 1)) & (~((a) - 1))) > +#define TWOMEG (2<<20) > +#define RUNTIME (20) > +#define MAX_RETRIES 100 > +#define ALIGN(x, a) (((x) + (a - 1)) & (~((a) - 1))) > > FIXTURE(migration) > { > @@ -65,6 +65,7 @@ int migrate(uint64_t *ptr, int n1, int n2) > int ret, tmp; > int status = 0; > struct timespec ts1, ts2; > + int failures = 0; > > if (clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts1)) > return -1; > @@ -79,13 +80,17 @@ int migrate(uint64_t *ptr, int n1, int n2) > ret = move_pages(0, 1, (void **) &ptr, &n2, &status, > MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL); > if (ret) { > - if (ret > 0) > + if (ret > 0) { > + /* Migration is best effort; try again */ > + if (++failures < MAX_RETRIES) > + continue; > printf("Didn't migrate %d pages\n", ret); > + } > else > perror("Couldn't migrate pages"); > return -2; > } > - > + failures = 0; > tmp = n2; > n2 = n1; > n1 = tmp; thanks, -- Shuah

If we backoff earlier without engaging too much with the page then we can in turn affort to retry more times.

Sure, shall update in v2. > > The reason being, I would like to know what this does to the run-time of > this test if migration fails and retried 100 times. Sure; just for the note, it won't affect the execution time of the test since that is controlled by a timeout mechanism. > >> >> Signed-off-by: Dev Jain <dev.jain@arm.com> >> Suggested-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> >> Reviewed-by: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@arm.com> >> Tested-by: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@arm.com> >> --- >> tools/testing/selftests/mm/migration.c | 17 +++++++++++------ >> 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/mm/migration.c >> b/tools/testing/selftests/mm/migration.c >> index 6908569ef406..64bcbb7151cf 100644 >> --- a/tools/testing/selftests/mm/migration.c >> +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/mm/migration.c >> @@ -15,10 +15,10 @@ >> #include <signal.h> >> #include <time.h> >> -#define TWOMEG (2<<20) >> -#define RUNTIME (20) >> - >> -#define ALIGN(x, a) (((x) + (a - 1)) & (~((a) - 1))) >> +#define TWOMEG (2<<20) >> +#define RUNTIME (20) >> +#define MAX_RETRIES 100 >> +#define ALIGN(x, a) (((x) + (a - 1)) & (~((a) - 1))) >> FIXTURE(migration) >> { >> @@ -65,6 +65,7 @@ int migrate(uint64_t *ptr, int n1, int n2) >> int ret, tmp; >> int status = 0; >> struct timespec ts1, ts2; >> + int failures = 0; >> if (clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts1)) >> return -1; >> @@ -79,13 +80,17 @@ int migrate(uint64_t *ptr, int n1, int n2) >> ret = move_pages(0, 1, (void **) &ptr, &n2, &status, >> MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL); >> if (ret) { >> - if (ret > 0) >> + if (ret > 0) { >> + /* Migration is best effort; try again */ >> + if (++failures < MAX_RETRIES) >> + continue; >> printf("Didn't migrate %d pages\n", ret); >> + } >> else >> perror("Couldn't migrate pages"); >> return -2; >> } >> - >> + failures = 0; >> tmp = n2; >> n2 = n1; >> n1 = tmp; > > thanks, > -- Shuah
