[PATCH v2 1/1] selftests: cgroup: add tests to verify the zswap writeback path

From: Usama Arif
Date: Thu May 02 2024 - 15:02:51 EST


Initate writeback with the below steps and check using
memory.stat.zswpwb if zswap writeback occurred:
1. Allocate memory.
2. Reclaim memory equal to the amount that was allocated in step 1.
This will move it into zswap.
3. Save current zswap usage.
4. Move the memory allocated in step 1 back in from zswap.
5. Set zswap.max to half the amount that was recorded in step 3.
6. Attempt to reclaim memory equal to the amount that was allocated,
this will either trigger writeback if its enabled, or reclamation
will fail if writeback is disabled as there isn't enough zswap
space.
