  • a241ec65a   [PATCH] RCU torture-testing kernel module ... Browse Code ยป

    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.
