rcu: Make rcu_torture_boost() exit loops at end of test

2011-09-29T04:38:46Z

One of the loops in rcu_torture_boost() fails to check kthread_should_stop(), and thus might be slowing or even stopping completion of rcutorture tests at rmmod time. This commit adds the kthread_should_stop() check to the offending loop. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Make rcu_torture_fqs() exit loops at end of test

2011-09-29T04:38:44Z

The rcu_torture_fqs() function can prevent the rcutorture tests from completing, resulting in a hang. This commit therefore ensures that rcu_torture_fqs() will exit its inner loops at the end of the test, and also applies the newish ULONG_CMP_LT() macro to time comparisons. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Allow rcutorture's stat_interval parameter to be changed at runtime

2011-09-29T04:38:27Z

When rcutorture is compiled directly into the kernel (instead of separately as a module), it is necessary to specify rcutorture.stat_interval as a kernel command-line parameter, otherwise, the rcu_torture_stats kthread is never started. However, when working with the system after it has booted, it is convenient to be able to change the time between statistic printing, particularly when logged into the console. This commit therefore allows the stat_interval parameter to be changed at runtime. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Don't destroy rcu_torture_boost() callback until it is done

2011-09-29T04:38:10Z

The rcu_torture_boost() cleanup code destroyed debug-objects state before waiting for the last RCU callback to be invoked, resulting in rare but very real debug-objects warnings. Move the destruction to after the waiting to fix this problem. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Catch rcutorture up to new RCU API additions

2011-09-29T04:36:43Z

Now that the RCU API contains synchronize_rcu_bh(), synchronize_sched(), call_rcu_sched(), and rcu_bh_expedited()... Make rcutorture test synchronize_rcu_bh(), getting rid of the old rcu_bh_torture_synchronize() workaround. Similarly, make rcutorture test synchronize_sched(), getting rid of the old sched_torture_synchronize() workaround. Make rcutorture test call_rcu_sched() instead of wrappering synchronize_sched(). Also add testing of rcu_bh_expedited(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Use kthread_create_on_node()

2011-09-29T04:36:33Z

Commit a26ac2455ffc (move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) added per-CPU kthreads. However, kthread creation uses kthread_create(), which can put the kthread's stack and task struct on the wrong NUMA node. Therefore, use kthread_create_on_node() instead of kthread_create() so that the stacks and task structs are placed on the correct NUMA node. A similar change was carried out in commit 94dcf29a11b3 (kthread: use kthread_create_on_node()). Also change rcutorture's priority-boost-test kthread creation.

rcu: treewide: Do not use rcu_read_lock_held when calling rcu_dereference_check

2011-07-08T20:21:58Z

Since ca5ecddf (rcu: define __rcu address space modifier for sparse) rcu_dereference_check use rcu_read_lock_held as a part of condition automatically so callers do not have to do that as well. Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko Acked-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina

rcu: mark rcutorture boosting callback as being on-stack

2011-05-06T06:16:57Z

The CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD facility requires that on-stack RCU callbacks be flagged explicitly to debug-objects using the init_rcu_head_on_stack() and destroy_rcu_head_on_stack() functions. This commit applies those functions to the rcutorture code that tests RCU priority boosting. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett

rcu: make rcutorture version numbers available through debugfs

2011-05-06T06:16:56Z

It is not possible to accurately correlate rcutorture output with that of debugfs. This patch therefore adds a debugfs file that prints out the rcutorture version number, permitting easy correlation. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett
