locktorture: Check the correct variable for allocation failure

2023-10-11T13:55:26Z

There is a typo so this checks the wrong variable. "chains" plural vs "chain" singular. We already know that "chains" is non-zero. Fixes: 7f993623e9eb ("locktorture: Add call_rcu_chains module parameter") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Reviewed-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

locktorture: Rename readers_bind/writers_bind to bind_readers/bind_writers

2023-09-24T15:24:02Z

This commit renames the readers_bind and writers_bind module parameters to bind_readers and bind_writers, respectively. This provides added clarity via the imperative mode and better organizes the documentation. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

locktorture: Add call_rcu_chains module parameter

2023-09-24T15:24:02Z

When running locktorture on large systems, there will normally be enough RCU activity to ensure that there is a grace period in flight at all times. However, on smaller systems, RCU might well be idle the majority of the time. This situation can be inconvenient in cases where the RCU CPU stall warning is part of the debugging process. This commit therefore adds an call_rcu_chains module parameter to locktorture, allowing the user to specify the desired number of self-propagating call_rcu() chains. For good measure, immediately before invoking call_rcu(), the self-propagating RCU callback invokes start_poll_synchronize_rcu() to force the immediate start of a grace period, with the call_rcu() forcing another to start shortly thereafter. Booting with locktorture.call_rcu_chains=2 increases the probability of a stuck locking primitive resulting in an RCU CPU stall warning from about 25% to nearly 100%. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

locktorture: Add new module parameters to lock_torture_print_module_parms()

2023-09-24T15:24:02Z

This commit adds new module parameters to lock_torture_print_module_parms, and alphabetizes things while in the area. This change makes locktorture test results more useful and self-contained. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

locktorture: Add acq_writer_lim to complain about long acquistion times

2023-09-24T15:24:01Z

This commit adds a locktorture.acq_writer_lim module parameter that specifies the maximum number of jiffies that is expected to be consumed by write-side lock acquisition. If this limit is exceeded, a WARN_ONCE() causes a splat. Note that this limit applies to the main lock acquisition only, not to any nested acquisitions. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

locktorture: Consolidate "if" statements in lock_torture_writer()

2023-09-24T15:24:01Z

There is a pair of adjacent "if" statements with identical conditions in the lock_torture_writer() function. This commit therefore combines them. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

locktorture: Alphabetize torture_param() entries

2023-09-24T15:24:01Z

There are getting to be too many module parameters for a random list to be comfortable, so this commit alphabetizes the list. Strictly code motion. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

locktorture: Add readers_bind and writers_bind module parameters

2023-09-24T15:24:01Z

This commit adds readers_bind and writers_bind module parameters to locktorture in order to skew tests across socket boundaries. This skewing is intended to provide additional variable-latency stress on the primitive under test. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

torture: Add lock_torture writer_fifo module parameter

2023-08-14T22:01:07Z

This commit adds a module parameter that causes the locktorture writer to run at real-time priority. To use it: insmod /lib/modules/torture.ko random_shuffle=1 insmod /lib/modules/locktorture.ko torture_type=mutex_lock rt_boost=1 rt_boost_factor=50 nested_locks=3 writer_fifo=1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A predecessor to this patch has been helpful to uncover issues with the proxy-execution series.

locktorture: Add long_hold to adjust lock-hold delays

2023-05-11T20:46:36Z

This commit adds a long_hold module parameter to allow testing diagnostics for excessive lock-hold times. Also adjust torture_param() invocations for longer line length while in the area. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Reviewed-by: Joel Fernandes (Google)
