* [PATCH] Fix bug in RCU torture testSrivatsa Vaddagiri2005-12-121-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | While doing some test of RCU torture module, I hit a OOPS in rcu_do_batch, which was trying to processes callback of a module that was just removed. This is because we weren't waiting long enough for all callbacks to fire. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@in.ibm.com> Cc: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: "Paul E.

* [PATCH] add success/failure indication to RCU torture testPaul E. McKenney2005-11-181-6/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | One issue with the RCU torture test is that the current error flagging can be lost in dmesg. This patch adds a "SUCCESS"/"FAILURE" string to the line that flags the end of the test, where it can easily be seen with "dmesg | tail" at the end of the test. Also adds tests of architecture-specific memory barriers -- or, more likely, of the RCU torture test itself. Cc: <vatsa@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Paul E.

* [PATCH] rcutorture: renice to low priorityIngo Molnar2005-11-131-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Make the box usable for interactive work when running the RCU torture test, by renicing the RCU torture-test threads to +19 by default. Kthreads run at nice -5 by default.

* [PATCH] RCU torture-testing kernel modulePaul E. McKenney2005-10-301-0/+492
This patch is a rewrite of the one submitted on October 1st, using modules (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112819093522998&w=2). This rewrite adds a tristate CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, which enables an intense torture test of the RCU infratructure. This is needed due to the continued changes to the RCU infrastructure to accommodate dynamic ticks, CPU hotplug, realtime, and so on. Most of the code is in a separate file that is compiled only if the CONFIG variable is set. Documentation on how to run the test and interpret the output is also included. This code has been tested on i386 and ppc64, and an earlier version of the code has received extensive testing on a number of architectures as part of the PREEMPT_RT patchset. Signed-off-by: "Paul E.
