* rcutorture: Fix incorrect description of default for nreaders parameterJosh Triplett2006-10-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | The comment for the nreaders parameter of rcutorture gives the default as 4*ncpus, but the value actually defaults to 2*ncpus; fix the comment.

* [PATCH] rcu: add lock annotations to rcu{,_bh}_torture_read_{lock,unlock}Josh Triplett2006-09-291-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | rcu_torture_read_lock and rcu_bh_torture_read_lock acquire locks without releasing them, and the matching functions rcu_torture_read_unlock and rcu_bh_torture_read_unlock get called with the corresponding locks held and release them. Add lock annotations to these four functions so that sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse will not complain about these functions since they intentionally use locks in this manner.

* [PATCH] rcutorture: catchup doc fixes for idle-hz testsPaul E. McKenney2006-06-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | This just catches the RCU torture documentation up with the recent fixes that test RCU for architectures that turn of the scheduling-clock interrupt for idle CPUs and the addition of a SUCCESS/FAILURE indication, fixing up an obsolete comment as well.

* [PATCH] rcutorture: tag success/failure line with module parametersPaul E. McKenney2006-03-241-8/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | A long-running rcutorture test can overflow dmesg, so that the line containing the module parameters is lost. Although it is usually possible to retrieve this information from the log files, it is much better to just tag it onto the final success/failure line so that it may be easily found. This patch does just that. Signed-off-by: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] rcu_torture_lock deadlock fixIngo Molnar2006-01-311-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | rcu_torture_lock is used in a softirq-unsafe manner, but it is also taken by rcu_torture_cb(), which may execute in softirq-context, resulting in potential deadlocks. The fix is to acquire rcu_torture_lock in a softirq-safe manner. With this fix applied, the rcu-torture code passes validation. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [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] 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.
