torture: Allow inter-stutter interval to be specified

2019-05-28T16:06:09Z

Currently, the inter-stutter interval is the same as the stutter duration, that is, whatever number of jiffies is passed into torture_stutter_init(). This has worked well for quite some time, but the addition of forward-progress testing to rcutorture can delay processes for several seconds, which can triple the time that they are stuttered. This commit therefore adds a second argument to torture_stutter_init() that specifies the inter-stutter interval. While locktorture preserves the current behavior, rcutorture uses the RCU CPU stall warning interval to provide a wider inter-stutter interval. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcutorture: Fix stutter_wait() return value and freelist checks

2019-05-28T16:06:09Z

The stutter_wait() function is supposed to return true if it actually waits and false otherwise, but it instead unconditionally returns false. Which hides a bug in rcu_torture_writer() that fails to account for the fact that one of the rcu_tortures[] array elements will normally be referenced by rcu_torture_current, and thus not be on the freelist. This commit therefore corrects the stutter_wait() return value and adds a check for rcu_torture_current to rcu_torture_writer()'s check that things get freed after everything goes quiescent. In addition, this commit causes torture_stutter() to give a bit more than one second (instead of only one jiffy) warning of the end of the stutter interval. Finally, this commit disables long-delay readers and aggressive update-side forward-progress checks while forward-progress testing is in flight.

torture: Don't try to offline the last CPU

2019-03-26T21:42:53Z

If there is only one online CPU, it doesn't make sense to try to offline it, as any such attempt is guaranteed to fail. This commit therefore check for this condition and refuses to attempt the nonsensical. Reported-by: Su Yue Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Tested-By: Su Yue

rcutorture: Add grace period after CPU offline

2019-01-25T23:37:10Z

Beyond a certain point in the CPU-hotplug offline process, timers get stranded on the outgoing CPU, and won't fire until that CPU comes back online, which might well be never. This commit therefore adds a hook in torture_onoff_init() that is invoked from torture_offline(), which rcutorture uses to occasionally wait for a grace period. This should result in failures for RCU implementations that rely on stranded timers eventually firing in the absence of the CPU coming back online.

torture: Remove unnecessary "ret" variables

2018-12-01T20:45:35Z

Remove return variables (declared as "ret") in cases where, depending on whether a condition evaluates as true, the result of a function call can be immediately returned instead of storing the result in the return variable. When the condition evaluates as false, the constant initially stored in the return variable at declaration is returned instead. Signed-off-by: Pierce Griffiths Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

torture: Bring any extra CPUs online during kernel startup

2018-12-01T20:45:32Z

Currently, the torture scripts rely on the initrd/init script to bring any extra CPUs online, for example, in the case where the kernel and qemu have different ideas about how many CPUs are present. This works, but is an unnecessary dependency on initrd, which needs to vary depending on the distro. This commit therefore causes torture_onoff() to check for additional CPUs, attempting to bring any found online. Errors are ignored, just as they are by the initrd/init script. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcutorture: Check GP completion at stutter end

2018-08-29T16:20:48Z

The rcu_torture_writer() function invokes stutter_wait() at the end of each writer pass, which occasionally blocks for an extended time period in order to ensure that RCU can handle intermittent loads. But part of handling a busy period is invoking all the callbacks before the end of the idle period induced by stutter_wait(). This commit therefore adds a return value to stutter_wait() indicating whether stutter_wait() actually waited. In addition, this commit causes rcu_torture_writer() to test this value and if set, checks that all the elements of the rcu_tortures[] array have been freed up. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

torture: Keep old-school dmesg format

2018-06-25T18:30:10Z

This commit adds "#define pr_fmt(fmt) fmt" to the torture-test files in order to keep the current dmesg format. Once Joe's commits have hit mainline, these definitions will be changed in order to automatically generate the dmesg line prefix that the scripts expect. This will have the beneficial side-effect of allowing printk() formats to be used more widely and of shortening some pr_*() lines. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Cc: Joe Perches
