[LTP] [PATCH v6] memcg/memcontrol05: add cgroup v2 task migration charge accounting test

Pavithra <[email protected]>
Newsgroups it.linux.lists.ltp
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Verify that in cgroup v2, memory charges remain pinned to the cgroup
that allocated them when a task migrates, and that new allocations after
migration are charged to the destination cgroup.

Signed-off-by: Pavithra <[email protected]>

v5 -> v6:
- Track worker PID and checkpoint stage to fix cleanup ordering.
- Wake and reap the worker before removing cgroups in cleanup().
- Drop unused #include <stdbool.h>.

+/*\
+ * Origin: ``testcases/kernel/controllers/memctl/memctl_testplan.txt``
+ * Verify memory controller charge accounting during task migration.
+ *
+ * Two child cgroups (``group_a``, ``group_b``) are created under the test cgroup.
+ * A worker process is placed in ``group_a`` and allocates a known amount of
+ * anonymous memory, touching every page to ensure physical allocation.
+ * Root is required to create cgroup subdirectories and to write a PID
+ * into ``cgroup.procs`` to migrate the worker between cgroups.
+ *
+ * Test 1 - No charge transfer on migration:
+ *   The worker is migrated to ``group_b`` by writing its PID to
+ *   ``group_b/cgroup.procs``. In cgroup v2 memory charges are never
+ *   transferred on task migration; they remain pinned to the cgroup
+ *   that allocated them. ``group_b/memory.current`` must not increase
+ *   beyond its baseline after the migration.
+ *
+ * Test 2 - New allocations charged to destination cgroup:
+ *   After migration the worker allocates an additional chunk of memory.
+ *   This new allocation must be charged to ``group_b``, so
+ *   ``group_b/memory.current`` must increase from the post-migration
+ *   baseline.
