Bug #: 13650
Summary: on rawhide, 'scan_unevictable_pages' warning
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: testsuite
AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: dsmith@redhat.com
Classification: Unclassified
When running the systemtap.examples/check.exp testcase on
3.3.0-0.rc2.git0.2.fc17.x86_64, I see the following pop up in
/var/log/messages:
----
Feb 1 15:30:58 kvm-rawhide-64-2 kernel: [ <7>[ 332.018775]
stap_551dc998a8f546ae21488b0870e1a28e_1012: systemtap: 1.7/0.152, base:
ffffffffa0209000, memory: 21data/20text/5ctx/2058net/9alloc kb, probes: 1
Feb 1 15:31:28 kvm-rawhide-64-2 kernel: cat: The scan_unevictable_pages
sysctl/node-interface has been disabled for lack of a legitimate use case. If
you have one, please send an email to linux-mm@kvack.org.
----
This warning comes from the warn_scan_unevictable_pages() kernel function
(mm/vmscan.c). I haven't narrowed down which specific example test causes this
to appear.

Looks like this comes from 2 example scripts (or would if you got the error
more than once):
general/para-callgraph.stp
general/para-callgraph-verbose.stp
The testcase for both of these does something like the following:
# stap para-callgraph.stp 'kernel.function("*@fs/proc*.c")'
'kernel.function("vfs_read")' -c "cat /proc/sys/vm/* || true"
If a process reads /proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages, that warning is
generated. On a freshly rebooted rawhide system with that kernel, just doing
the following by hand will cause that warning to appear:
# cat /proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages
Our options here are to ignore the warning or read a different set of files,
perhaps something in the testsuite directory itself.

Since this is just a warning (that only will appear once after a reboot), let's
just ignore this. Once the /proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages goes away, so
will the warning.
