From e34191fad8e5d9fe4e76f6d03b5e29e3eae7535a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 06:14:23 -0700 Subject: locktorture: Support rwlocks Add a "rw_lock" torture test to stress kernel rwlocks and their irq variant. Reader critical regions are 5x longer than writers. As such a similar ratio of lock acquisitions is seen in the statistics. In the case of massive contention, both hold the lock for 1/10 of a second.
