cgroup_tests
============

A very simple cgroup test program which tortures the cgroup
filesystem a bit.


How it works
------------

Initially it creates a random directory tree and places a memory_hog
(or any other program) to a cgroup. After that it moves them around
and removes/creates new cgroups at random places.  For each child
which dies a new one is created.

cgroup_tests is not really smart in creating the trees. It just
tries to as chaotic as possible and stress testing the API.


How to build
------------

The programs depend on asprintf, so you probably need a glibc for
getting building and running. Apart of this, no additional special
dependencies exists.

    $ make
    gcc -Wall  -g -O0  cgroup_tests.c   -o cgroup_tests
    gcc -Wall  -g -O0  memory_hog.c   -o memory_hog
    gcc -Wall  -g -O0  dir_walker.c   -o dir_walker


Usage
-----

A few simple examples

    # ./cgroup_tests ./memory_hog

will create 100 cgroups under /sys/fs/cgroup/memory and 50 memory hogs
and shuffles them around for 60 seconds. Each memory hog allocates
10M, write a patter, waits a second and releases the memory again. 5
times repeated.

    # ./cgroup_tests ./memory_hog
    mkdir 791 rmdir 690 moved 921 forked 65 reaped 15

    [root@test-kvm memory]# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory && tree -d

Let's say you want to to create a lot of cgroups and only a few
clients which only exist short you could do this here:

    # ./cgroup_tests -g 1000 -c 200 -t 20 ./memory_hog -- -s 0 -l 1 -b 1M

cgroup_tests creates 10000 cgrougs and tries to keep 200 memory hogs
alive. They will only allocated 1M each and do not loop or sleep at all.
