To test pstore in earnest, we have to cause kernel crash and check
pstore filesystem after reboot.
We add two scripts:
- pstore_crash_test
This script causes kernel crash and reboot. It is executed by
'make run_pstore_crash' in selftests. It can also be used with kdump.
- pstore_post_reboot_tests
This script includes test cases which check pstore's behavior after
crash and reboot. It is executed together with pstore_tests by
'make run_tests [-C pstore]' in selftests.
The test cases in pstore_post_reboot_tests are currently following.
- Check pstore backend is registered
- Mount pstore filesystem
- Check dmesg/console/pmsg files exist in pstore filesystem
- Check dmesg/console files contain oops end marker
- Check pmsg file properly keeps the content written before crash
- Remove all files in pstore filesystem
Example usage is following.
(before reboot)
# cd /path/to/selftests
# make run_tests -C pstore
