This test is easier. I wrote a simple one myself.
static struct my_rcu_node *my_node;
static bool test_kmem_dump_obj(void)
{
void *p;
if (kmem_dump_obj(NULL))
return false;
if (kmem_dump_obj((void *)(PAGE_SIZE / 2)))
return false;
if (kmem_dump_obj((void *)(PAGE_SIZE - 1)))
return false;
if (kmem_dump_obj((void *)PAGE_SIZE))
return false;
if (kmem_dump_obj(&my_node))
return false;
p = vmalloc(0x100000);
WARN_ON(!p);
if (kmem_dump_obj(p)) {
vfree(p);
return false;
}
vfree(p);
p = kmalloc(0x100, GFP_KERNEL);
WARN_ON(!p);
if (!kmem_dump_obj(p)) {
kfree(p);
return false;
}
if (kmem_dump_obj((void *)(((unsigned long)p << 4) >> 4))) {
kfree(p);
return false;
}
kfree(p);
return true;
}
static int tst_proc_show(struct seq_file *m, void *v)
{
if (!test_kmem_dump_obj()) {
seq_printf(m, "test_kmem_dump_obj failed\n");
return 0;
}

seq_printf(m, "kmalloc failed\n");

OK, thanks for your info. I'll study the RCU self-test program rcutorture later.

Oh, Sorry. It seems that I forgot to delete your Signed-off-by in v2.
Oops! you reminded me once before. After v1, you helped modify the
description and pull it into your tree. I got it from 'dev' branch.

Yes, it could be quicker. Of course, I can wait for patch 1/2 upstream,
then repost patch 2/2. In fact, I also want to dump part of the slab
object, I've already written the code. In order not to affect the current
user of mem_dump_obj(), a new parameter need to be added to kmem_dump_obj().
I will post v5 with this patch later.
