[PATCH v4 5/7] selftests/cgroup: replace hardcoded page size values in test_zswap
Posted by Li Wang 1 week, 5 days ago
test_zswap uses hardcoded values of 4095 and 4096 throughout as page
stride and page size, which are only correct on systems with a 4K page
size. On architectures with larger pages (e.g., 64K on arm64 or ppc64),
these constants cause memory to be touched at sub-page granularity,
leading to inefficient access patterns and incorrect page count
calculations, which can cause test failures.

Replace all hardcoded 4095 and 4096 values with a global pagesize
variable initialized from sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) at startup, and remove
the redundant local sysconf() calls scattered across individual
functions. No functional change on 4K page size systems.
