2014-05-14torture: Check for multiple concurrent torture testsPaul E. McKenney
The torture tests are designed to run in isolation, but do not enforce this isolation. This commit therefore checks for concurrent torture tests, and refuses to start new tests while old tests are running. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
2014-05-14rcutorture: Run rcu_torture_writer at normal priorityPaul E. McKenney
There are usually lots of readers and only one writer, so if there has to be a choice, we would want rcu_torture_writer to win. This commit therefore removes the set_user_nice() from rcu_torture_writer(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
2014-05-14rcutorture: Add missing destroy_timer_on_stack()Thomas Gleixner
The rcu_torture_reader() function uses an on-stack timer_list structure which it initializes with setup_timer_on_stack(). However, it fails to use destroy_timer_on_stack() before exiting, which results in leaking a tracking object if DEBUG_OBJECTS is enabled. This commit therefore invokes destroy_timer_on_stack() to avoid this leakage.

2014-05-14rcutorture: Explicitly test synchronous grace-period primitivesPaul E. McKenney
The original rcu_torture_writer() avoided testing the synchronous grace-period primitives because they were simply wrappers around call_rcu() invocations. The testing of these synchronous primitives was delegated to the fake writers. However, there really is no excuse not to test them, especially in the case of SRCU, where the wrappering is somewhat more elaborate. This commit therefore makes the default rcutorture parameters cause rcu_torture_writer() to include synchronous grace-period primitives in its testing. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-05-14rcutorture: Add tests for get_state_synchronize_rcu()Paul E. McKenney

2014-05-14rcutorture: Check for rcu_torture_fqs creation errorsPaul E. McKenney
The return value from torture_create_kthread() is currently ignored when creating the rcu_torture_fqs kthread. This commit therefore captures the return value so that it can be tested for errors.

2014-05-14rcutorture: Make rcu_torture_reader() use cond_resched()Paul E. McKenney
The rcu_torture_reader() function currently uses schedule(). This commit therefore speeds things up a bit by substituting cond_resched(). This change makes rcu_torture_reader() more CPU-bound, so this commit also adjusts the number of readers (the "nreaders" module parameter, which feeds into the "nrealreaders" variable) to allow one CPU to be free of readers on SMP systems. The point of this is to increase the probability that readers will be watching while an updater makes a change. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-05-14rcutorture: Export RCU grace-period kthread wait state to rcutorturePaul E. McKenney
This commit allows rcutorture to print additional state for the RCU grace-period kthreads in cases where RCU seems reluctant to start a new grace period. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
2014-05-14torture: Dump ftrace buffer when the RCU grace period stallsPaul E. McKenney
This commit adds a call to rcutorture_trace_dump() to dump the ftrace buffer when the RCU grace period stalls in order to help debug the stall. Note that this is different than the RCU CPU stall warning, as it is rcutorture detecting the stall rather than the underlying RCU implementation. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-05-14rcutorture: Print negatives for SRCU counter wraparoundPaul E. McKenney
The srcu_torture_stats() function prints SRCU's per-CPU c[] array with an unsigned format, which means that the number one less than zero is a very large number. This commit therefore prints this array with a signed format in order to improve readability of the rcutorture output. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Mark functions as static in kernel/rcu/torture.c because they are not used outside this file.

2014-05-13rcutorture: Add forward-progress checking for writerPaul E. McKenney
The rcutorture output currently does not distinguish between stalls in the RCU implementation and stalls in the rcu_torture_writer() kthreads. This commit therefore adds some diagnostics to help distinguish between these two conditions, at least for the non-SRCU implementations. (SRCU does not provide evidence of update-side forward progress by design.) Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2014-02-23rcutorture: Add an rcu_busted to test the testPaul E. McKenney

2014-02-23rcutorture: Stop generic kthreads in torture_cleanup()Paul E. McKenney
The specific torture modules (like rcutorture) need to call torture_cleanup() in any case, so this commit makes torture_cleanup() deal with torture_shutdown_cleanup() and torture_stutter_cleanup() so that the specific modules don't have to deal with these details.

Creation of kthreads is not RCU-specific, so this commit abstracts out torture_create_kthread(), saving a few tens of lines of code in the process. This change requires modifying VERBOSE_TOROUT_ERRSTRING() to take a non-const string, so that _torture_create_kthread() can avoid an open-coded substitute. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-02-23rcutorture: Fix rcutorture shutdown racesPaul E. McKenney
Not all of the rcutorture kthreads waited for kthread_should_stop() before returning from their top-level functions, and none of them used torture_shutdown_absorb() properly. These problems can result in segfaults and hangs at shutdown time, and some recent changes perturbed timing sufficiently to make them much more probable. This commit therefore creates a torture_kthread_stopping() function that does the proper kthread shutdown dance in one centralized location. Accommodate this grouping by making VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING() capable of taking a non-const string as its argument, which allows the new torture_kthread_stopping() to pass its "title" argument directly to the updated version of VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING().

2014-02-23rcutorture: Announce task creationPaul E. McKenney

The torture_shuffle() function forces each CPU in turn to go idle periodically in order to check for problems interacting with per-CPU variables and with dyntick-idle mode.

Because handling races between rmmod and normal shutdown is not specific to rcutorture, this commit renames rcutorture_shutdown_absorb() to torture_shutdown_absorb() and pulls it out into then kernel/torture.c module.
