When running the cgroup zswap selftests on a single-core VM (-smp 1) with
4GB of RAM, test_zswap_writeback and test_no_kmem_bypass reliably fail on
the initial run after boot due to timing and asynchronous tasks not
completed.
This 2-patch series fixes both initial-run failures:
* Patch 1 fixes an EBUSY race in test_zswap_writeback() where writing
"+memory" to cgroup.subtree_control collides with the kernel's
asynchronous RCU removal of dead child tasks from cgroup.procs.
* Patch 2 fixes an implicit unsigned integer promotion bug in
test_no_kmem_bypass() where a small negative delta becomes large when
compared to an unsigned size_t threshold.
Both tests now reliably pass on the initial run after cold boot on -smp 1
VMs.
