From d84f520348d77e61f936227a048403dbc349fff1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srivatsa Vaddagiri Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2006 01:03:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Extend RCU torture module to test tickless idle CPU This patch forces RCU torture threads off various CPUs in the system allowing them to become idle and go tickless. Meant to test support for such tickless idle CPU in RCU. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa Vaddagiri Cc: Dipankar Sarma Cc: "Paul E.
