It was found that some of the tests in test_memcontrol can fail more readily if system page size is larger than 4k. It is because the actual memory.current value deviates more from the expected value with larger page size. To avoid this failure, the error tolerance is now increased in accordance to the current system page size value. The page size scale factor is set to 2 for 64k page and 1 for 16k page.
Changes are made in alloc_pagecache_max_30M(), test_memcg_protection() and alloc_anon_50M_check_swap() to increase the error tolerance for memory.current for larger page size. The current set of values are chosen to ensure that the relevant test_memcontrol tests no longer have any test failure in a 100 repeated run of test_memcontrol with a 4k/16k/64k page size kernels on an arm64 system.
