1962267 - Update memtest crate to v0.4.0 in crash reporter client

Status: ASSIGNED

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, task, P2)

Description

[Brian Tsoi [:btsoi]]

memtest v0.4.0 is expected to have the PageFaultChecker feature (for getting around the Linux mlock limit), memtests refactored and atomic variables instead of volatile for memory read/write for potentially more effective memory testing. Once it is released we can update the crate for the crash reporter client.

Does this bug also cover the implementation and release of memtest v0.4.0? E.g., https://github.com/mozilla/memtest/issues/14 is not yet implemented.

Comment 2

[Gian-Carlo Pascutto [:gcp]]

I'd want to make sure we ship the improvements we already have rather than waiting until someone is able to circle back to the memtester and finish those two bugs, so I'd think that is out of scope.

OTOH this one may be trivial?
https://github.com/mozilla/memtest/issues/15

If you can fix them quickly I'm not stopping you :-)

Comment 3

[Alex Franchuk [:afranchuk]]

https://github.com/mozilla/memtest/issues/15 turned out to be non-trivial, so we'll make a v0.4.0 release without it.
