Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/5] selftests/damon: add Python modules for DAMON control and functionality tests
Date: Sat, 2 Dec 2023 00:08:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231202000806.46210-1-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
DAMON provides almost all control to the user via its sysfs interface.
For that, the interface provides plenty of files and hierarchies. The
interface is simple enough to be controlled by shell commands including
'cat', 'echo', and redirection. However, due to the number of files and
the hierarchies, doing that repeatedly is quite tedious. As a result,
DAMON selftests are containing only simple test cases rather than real
functionality tests. Having a wrapper script that can be reused to
implement more functionality tests could be helpful. Writing such
wrapper with shell script might be challenging and not easy to further
maintain and extend for future DAMON interface extensions, though.
To this end, implement a Python-written DAMON sysfs interface wrapper
that could be easily managed and extended for future DAMON interface
extensions. Further implement one simple functionality test and a
corner case regression test for a previously found bug, using the
wrapper module. In fact, the bug was found by the test this patchset is
introducing.
Note that the Python wrapper is not supporting full features of DAMON
interface, but only some of those that essential for the tests that this
patchset is introducing. The wrapper would extended to support more
features, but only with essential ones for such future tests. The
wrapper will hence keep being simple, small, and constrained. For
convenient and general use cases of DAMON, users should use DAMON
user-space tools for such purpose, like damo[1].

Patches Sequence
----------------
This patchset is constructed with five patches. The first three patches
implement the Python-written DAMON sysfs interface wrapper in small
steps. The basic data structure (first patch), kdamond startup command
(second patch), and finally DAMOS tried bytes command (third patch).
Then two patches for adding selftests using the wrapper follows. The
fourth patch implements a basic functionality test of DAMON for working
set estimation accuracy. Finally, the fifth patch implements a corner
case test for a previously found bug.
