[LTP] [PATCH 0/2 ] LTP Memory controller smarter check for enable/disable functionality

[Rishikesh <ris...@li...>]

Hi All,

Current memory controller implelementation in LTP does not check if 
memory controller is enabled or not. It only check for memory contorller 
kernel support. It may happen that some distro would have disabled 
functionality. e.g:

mhs21a:/opt/ltp # cat /proc/cgroups  | grep -e num_ -e memory -e freezer
#subsys_name    hierarchy    num_cgroups    enabled
memory    0    1    0
freezer    0    1    1
mhs21a:/opt/ltp #


Here 4th parameter shows the exact support for functionality as 
enabled/disabled. As here clearly it shows that memory controller is 
disabled and freezer is enabled.

My patch supports for this functionality.

[PATCH 1/2 ] : Added check for all controller to LTP.
[PATCH 2/2 ] : Added check to memory controller functiona,regression & 
stress testcase scripts.

Comments are welcome.

It has been tested and here are the result.
