Introduce FORCE_DEFRAG compilation option to allow activedefrag run when allocator is not jemalloc #1303

I think we'll want to merge this PR first btw, #1242, since it already exists. I think there will be some merge conflicts. |

We should add this to some CI presumably. The daily ASAN probably?

Yes I agree. maybe it can also be run as part of the CI, depending on the extra time it would take.

I would prefer a slightly more verbose and descriptive name, like, "DEBUG_FORCE_DEFRAG" or something, to indicate this isn't really used for production.

Kind of feels like you should override computeDefragCycles instead, and have that should always set active_defrag_running to like 100%.

I am fine with it (makes sense) I do not, however want to break tests which are checking the active_defrag_running, so maybe I can just use the active-defrag-cycle-max as the return value?
Alternatively we can have a tag to skip tests in case of DEBUG_FORCE_DEFRAG

This intuitively makes a bit more sense to me, since defrag shouldn't really work correctly since we are completely breaking defrag here.

All of the tests already are checking for jemalloc memory to enable the defragmentation, so I think that the tests should all still be skipped anyways?

I still kind of think you should have to turn defrag on. I'm okay with overriding it so it always runs if you do, but it it's sort of counter intuitive to comment out this block of code.

That was my initial thought as well but I went all the way :)
an alternative would be to make the active defrag config on by default when this compilation flag is on. WDYT?

I'm okay with this, it makes sense to me.

@ranshid Zvis change is now merged. Jim's is basically also ready to go so you should be able to resume updating this if you want. |
Introduce compile time option to force activedefrag to run even when
jemalloc is not used as the allocator.
This is in order to be able to run tests with defrag enabled
while using memory instrumentation tools.
