Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Possible bug in zram on ppc64le on vfat
Date:   Mon,  7 Nov 2022 20:11:35 +0100

Hi all,

following bug is trying to workaround an error on ppc64le, where
zram01.sh LTP test (there is also kernel selftest
tools/testing/selftests/zram/zram01.sh, but LTP test got further
updates) has often mem_used_total 0 although zram is already filled.

Patch tries to repeatedly read /sys/block/zram*/mm_stat for 1 sec,
waiting for mem_used_total > 0. The question if this is expected and
should be workarounded or a bug which should be fixed.

REPRODUCE THE ISSUE
Quickest way to install only zram tests and their dependencies:
make autotools && ./configure && for i in testcases/lib/ testcases/kernel/device-drivers/zram/; do cd $i && make -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) && make install && cd -; done

Run the test (only on vfat)
PATH="/opt/ltp/testcases/bin:$PATH" LTP_SINGLE_FS_TYPE=vfat zram01.sh
