@@ -46,9 +46,15 @@ stat_interval The number of seconds between output of torture
shuffle_interval
The number of seconds to keep the test threads affinitied
- to a particular subset of the CPUs, defaults to 5 seconds.
+ to a particular subset of the CPUs, defaults to 3 seconds.
Used in conjunction with test_no_idle_hz.
+stutter The length of time to run the test before pausing for this
+ same period of time. Defaults to "stutter=5", so as
+ to run and pause for (roughly) five-second intervals.
+ Specifying "stutter=0" causes the test to run continuously
+ without pausing, which is the old default behavior.
+
test_no_idle_hz Whether or not to test the ability of RCU to operate in
a kernel that disables the scheduling-clock interrupt to
idle CPUs. Boolean parameter, "1" to test, "0" otherwise.
