I guess I had to check the zswap tests at some point :)
We sorely need more zswap tests :)
I'm one of the offenders of adding new features without including tests, so no judging anyone of course, and admittedly zswap is quite intertwined with other parts of MM, so it's kinda hard to write unit-ish tests for zswap only. I often had to resort to scripting stress tests to iron out bugs.
But there are still tests that we can write to verify public API (cgroup's zswap options come to mind), simple tests that cover crucial code paths, etc. that we should probably add in. At the very least this can be a quick/sanity check for developing and backporting patches into the production system.
Agreed. I am yet to take a close look at the existing tests tbh, but I took a quick look before and there is room for improvement (and little bandwidth to act on it).
