Subject: [PATCH v3 12/13] selftests/mm: move hwpoison setup into run_test() and silence modprobe output for memory-failure category
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 12:46:06 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a157c2f91d8fa94b14dff44ce5c0dfcce1f8328e.1774591179.git.sayalip@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1774591179.git.sayalip@linux.ibm.com>
run_vmtests.sh contains special handling to ensure the hwpoison_inject
module is available for the memory-failure tests. This logic was
implemented outside of run_test(), making the setup category-specific
but managed globally.
Move the hwpoison_inject handling into run_test() and restrict it
to the memory-failure category so that:
1. the module is checked and loaded only when memory-failure tests run,
2. the test is skipped if the module or the debugfs interface
(/sys/kernel/debug/hwpoison/) is not available.
3. the module is unloaded after the test if it was loaded by the script.
This localizes category-specific setup and makes the test flow
consistent with other per-category preparations.
While updating this logic, fix the module availability check.
The script previously used:
modprobe -R hwpoison_inject
The -R option prints the resolved module name to stdout, causing every
run to print:
hwpoison_inject
in the test output, even when no action is required, introducing
unnecessary noise.
Replace this with:
modprobe -n hwpoison_inject
which verifies that the module is loadable without producing output,
keeping the selftest logs clean and consistent.
