Benchmark Profile

  • Type: Micro

  • Kernel subsystem: VFS, directory iteration, dcache

  • Coverage: Directly measured

  • Topology: Single role: executer

Overview

Runs the stress-ng getdent stressor through mmtests to exercise directory entry enumeration. Sensitive to filesystem, dcache, and VFS directory iteration path changes.
