1 The complete dir tree is for testcases for resource management testing of linux kernel.
2 For the test plan please refer to the file testplan.txt

7 The cpu controller test creates the cpu controller device as /dev/cpuctl. In
8 case you already have /dev/cpuctl it may be overwritten. So please rename it
9 to have a backup of your file.
10
11 The cpuset controller also creates the device as /dev/cpuset, so please do the
12 similar work as above.

19 A brief description of the plan for resource management testing.

21 test_controllers.sh
22 -------------------
23 This is the main script file that starts the test. It first checks if the
24 controllers are enabled. If not enabled then it will not run the test and
25 will exit giving warning.

28 ------
29 This file.
30
31 cgroup
32 ------
33 Directory containing the cgroup regression testcases.
34
35 cpuctl
36 ------
37 Directory containing the cpu controller testcases. A similar directory will
38 be created for any new controller.
39
40 memctl
41 ------
42 Directory containing the memory controller testcases. A similar directory will
43 be created for any new controller.
44
45 cpuset
46 ------
47 Directory containing the cpuset controller testcases. A similar directory will
48 be created for any new controller.
49
50 libcontrollers
51 --------------
52 This directory contains the library for cpucontroller testing.
53
54 cpuacct
55 -----------
56 Directory containing the cpu accounting controller testcases.
57
58 Makefile
59 --------
60 The usual Makefile to conduct all the tests.
61
62 Before starting compilation this file checks if the kernel is supporting the
63 cpu controller. If yes it enters lower directory and compiles the source files
64 otherwise exits warning to user.
65 Hence the user has to take care of the fact that the test runs or just quiets.
66 (Your kernel needs to be 2.6.24 onwards with proper config options)
67
68 And before starting test cpuset, Please check whether the test system has
69 4 CPUs and 3 Memory nodes and the kernel version is 2.6.28 or above.
