NAME

splat - Solaris Porting LAyer Tests

SYNOPSIS

splat [-chvx] < --all | --list | --test subsystem:test [...] >

DESCRIPTION

This utility uses the splat.ko kernel module to test the spl.ko kernel module. Run "modprobe splat" before invoking splat.

OPTIONS

-a, --all
Run all available tests on all subsystems.
-c, --nocolor
Disable output highlighting. By default, "Fail" is printed in red text and "Pass" is printed in green text.
-h, --help
Print the usage message.
-l, --list
For each spl.ko subsystem, print all available test names and hexidecimal identifiers with a short description.
-t subsystem:test, --test subsystem:test
-t subsystem:all, --test subsystem:all
Run the test diagnostic routine for the spl.ko subsystem. Specify this option more than once to run multiple tests.
The test and subsystem parameters are the names or hexidecimal identifiers returned by the splat --list command.
If subsystem is a name and not a hexidecimal identifier, then the all keyword can be used to run all available subsystem tests.
-v, --verbose
Increase verbosity.
-x, --exit
Stop running tests after the first failure.

EXAMPLES

Test everything in the spl.ko kernel module:
# splat --all --verbose
Test the entire kernel memory subsystem:
# splat --test kmem:all
Test the kernel compression and queue waiting facilities:
# splat --test zlib:compress/uncompress --test taskq:wait
This is the same as the previous command, except that the subsystems and tests are referenced by hexidecimal identifier instead of by name:
# splat -t 0x0f00:0x0f01 -t 0x0200:0x0204

NOTES

All tests always return a green "Pass" result on a healthy system. Any red "Fail" result should be investigated or reported.

BUGS

Some tests can deadlock the kernel if an X11 desktop is running, especially if a proprietary blob driver is loaded for the video hardware.
