1. Broken eatmem_free_memory option
|
| --eatmem: Use the eatmem program to reduce available memory for out-of-cache testing. | ||
| --eatmem_out_of_cache_start <MB>: Starting memory consumption for eatmem (default: 128). | ||
| --eatmem_out_of_cache_end <MB>: Ending memory consumption for eatmem (default: 1024). | ||
| --eatmem_free_memory <MB>: Memory to keep free when using eatmem (default: 180). | ||
| --tunecompare: Compare default vs. tuned kernel parameters. | ||
| --swap: Disable swap during testing, re-enable after. |

1. Broken eatmem_free_memory option 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
README documents --eatmem_free_memory, but iozone_run.sh does not register it as a valid getopt long option, so the argument is treated as invalid and the configured free-memory target is never applied.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
`--eatmem_free_memory` is documented and has a handler, but it is not included in the getopt long-options list, so it is rejected/ignored and cannot be used.
### Issue Context
The script builds its accepted long options from `ARGUMENT_LIST`/`NO_ARGUMENTS`. `--eatmem_free_memory` must be present in `ARGUMENT_LIST` to be accepted.
### Fix Focus Areas
- iozone/iozone_run.sh[1527-1563]
- iozone/iozone_run.sh[1602-1608]
### Suggested change
Add `eatmem_free_memory` to `ARGUMENT_LIST` (and keep the existing `--eatmem_free_memory` case arm).

| Iozone-Specific Options: | ||
| --iozone_kit <kit>: Iozone package to download (default: iozone3_490). | ||
| --auto: Use auto-mode testing instead of throughput mode. | ||
| --page_size <KB>: Minimum file size for auto-mode (default: 1024 KB). | ||
| --quick <factor>: Divisor for in-cache memory to speed up tests (default: 1). |

2. Broken page_size option 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
README documents --page_size, but iozone_run.sh only handles --pagesize and assigns to pagesize (not the page_size variable actually used), so the documented flag doesn’t change the runtime behavior.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
`--page_size` is documented and listed as a getopt long option, but the code only handles `--pagesize` and assigns to an unused variable, so the option cannot be set via the documented interface.
### Issue Context
`page_size` is used throughout the script to build iozone args, so the option handler must set `page_size`.
### Fix Focus Areas
- iozone/iozone_run.sh[1527-1546]
- iozone/iozone_run.sh[1666-1673]
### Suggested change
Change the case label to `--page_size)` (and/or support both `--page_size` and `--pagesize`) and assign `page_size=$2` (not `pagesize=$2`).

3. Insecure http tarball download 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security
README instructs downloading Iozone from an HTTP URL and the wrapper does the same, then builds/installs it while running as root; this allows MITM tampering of the source archive and potential code execution on the test system.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
The wrapper fetches and executes (build/installs) third-party source over plain HTTP while running as root, enabling network tampering.
### Issue Context
`retrieve_and_build_iozone()` downloads `${iozone_kit}.tar` via HTTP and then extracts/builds it.
### Fix Focus Areas
- iozone/iozone_run.sh[447-490]
- README.md[144-148]
### Suggested change
Use an integrity-protected approach: switch to HTTPS if available, and/or add checksum verification (e.g., hardcoded SHA256 per supported kit, or a detached signature flow) before extracting/building. Update the README to reflect the secured download/verification behavior.
