Hello,
The aim of this patch series is to improve the resctrl selftest. Without these fixes, some unnecessary processing will be executed and test results will be confusing. There is no behavior change in test themselves.
[patch 1] Make write_schemata() run to set up shemata with 100% allocation on first run in MBM test. [patch 2] The MBA test result message is always output as "ok", make output message to be "not ok" if MBA check result is failed. [patch 3] When a child process is created by fork(), the buffer of the parent process is also copied. Flush the buffer before executing fork(). [patch 4] Add a signal handler to cleanup properly before exiting the parent process, if there is an error occurs after creating a child process with fork() in the CAT test. [patch 5] Before exiting each test CMT/CAT/MBM/MBA, clear test result files function cat/cmt/mbm/mba_test_cleanup() are called twice. Delete once.
This patch series is based on Linux v6.1-rc3
Difference from v2: Moved [PATCH v2 3/4] to the last and insert patch 4 before it. [patch 1] Fixed the typo miss in the changelog and initialized *p(resctrl_val_param) before use it. And since there was no MBM processing in write_schemata(), added it. [patch 4] A signal handler is introduced in this patch. With this patch, patch 5 clear duplicate code cat/cmt/mbm/mba_test_cleanup() without falling into the indicated trap. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/bdb19cf6-dd4b-2042-7cda-7f6108e543aa@intel.com/
