9 * This test allocates two virtual areas and bounces the physical
10 * memory across the two virtual areas (from area_src to area_dst)
13 * There are three threads running per CPU:
15 * 1) one per-CPU thread takes a per-page pthread_mutex in a random
16 * page of the area_dst (while the physical page may still be in
17 * area_src), and increments a per-page counter in the same page,
18 * and checks its value against a verification region.
20 * 2) another per-CPU thread handles the userfaults generated by
21 * thread 1 above. userfaultfd blocking reads or poll() modes are
22 * exercised interleaved.
24 * 3) one last per-CPU thread transfers the memory in the background
25 * at maximum bandwidth (if not already transferred by thread
26 * 2). Each cpu thread takes cares of transferring a portion of the
29 * When all threads of type 3 completed the transfer, one bounce is
30 * complete. area_src and area_dst are then swapped. All threads are
31 * respawned and so the bounce is immediately restarted in the
34 * per-CPU threads 1 by triggering userfaults inside
35 * pthread_mutex_lock will also verify the atomicity of the memory
36 * transfer (UFFDIO_COPY).
38 * The program takes two parameters: the amounts of physical memory in
39 * megabytes (MiB) of the area and the number of bounces to execute.
41 * # 100MiB 99999 bounces
42 * ./userfaultfd 100 99999
45 * ./userfaultfd 1000 99
47 * # 10MiB-~6GiB 999 bounces, continue forever unless an error triggers
48 * while ./userfaultfd $[RANDOM % 6000 + 10] 999; do true; done
