Memory Test Suite

-----------------

This is one (small) test suite of programs that have triggered/trigger

problems in the virtual memory system. The idea is having a set of

programs easy to setup and run to test the memory system.

To discuss something about the suite, fill free to contact me

(quintela@fi.udc.es) or the Linux memory team, that is where I have

find this programs (linux-mm@kvack.org). I have also found ideas and

inspiration for doing that in the IRC: #kernelnewbies chat, in the

server irc.openprojects.net, chatting with several people, between them

Rick van Riel , who told me to put together my

programs that crashed the kernel in one suite.

I have edited lightly the programs to use comun functions defined in

misc_lib.h.

You can run the tests mmap001, mmap002 and misc001 with one parameter

indicating the size of your RAM in megabites.

If you want to tune the tests for your machine, edit the file

mis_lib.h, the defines in it, things like RAMSIZE. The tests are

configured to use your RAM and part of swap, and for that their use

that number. Feel free to change that values and test them in any way

that you can thought of. If you find some combination of tests than

trigger easily a bug, let me know and I will add that information to

the test suite.

Thanks for your attention.

Enjoy yourself.
