πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… binder_alloc...austive_test(9) πŸ’…

okay so this is a page straight outta the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's about a kunit test that goes absolutely feral on buffer page allocation. buckle up πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

binder_alloc_exhaustive_test β€” Exhaustively test alloc and free of buffer pages.

like, exhaustively exhaustively. no stone unturned, no cap πŸ”₯


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void binder_alloc_exhaustive_test (struct kunit *test );

she takes one arg and returns nothing. simple. iconic. periodt ✨


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • test β€” The test context object. that's the kunit stuff she needs to like, actually run and report things 🫢

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so here's the whole vibe πŸ‘‘

first things first: Allocate BUFFER_NUM buffers to cover all page alignment cases. all of them. every single alignment case gets a little buffer bestie of its own πŸ’…

then β€” and this is the main character moment β€” free them in all orders possible. like, every permutation. the way that she's out here doing the full combinatorial thing is genuinely so obsessed of her 😭

and while all that's happening, she checks the receipts:

  • that pages are correctly allocated βœ…
  • that pages are put onto lru when buffers are freed βœ…
  • that pages are freed when binder_alloc_free_page is called βœ…
ngl this is a thorough queen. if any of those three things misbehaves, she WILL find it. no hiding πŸ™ˆ

  • enum buf_end_align_type(9) β€” the enum bestie herself πŸ’œ

πŸŽ€ little reminder that this one lives in the ./drivers/android/tests directory β€” that's the source, that's the home base 🏠
