To properly exercise RCU implementations with preemptible
read-side critical sections.
+nfakewriters This is the number of RCU fake writer threads to run. Fake
+ writer threads repeatedly use the synchronous "wait for
+ current readers" function of the interface selected by
+ torture_type, with a delay between calls to allow for various
+ different numbers of writers running in parallel.
+ nfakewriters defaults to 4, which provides enough parallelism
+ to trigger special cases caused by multiple writers, such as
+ the synchronize_srcu() early return optimization.
+
stat_interval The number of seconds between output of torture
statistics (via printk()). Regardless of the interval,
statistics are printed when the module is unloaded.
a kernel that disables the scheduling-clock interrupt to
idle CPUs. Boolean parameter, "1" to test, "0" otherwise.
-torture_type The type of RCU to test: "rcu" for the rcu_read_lock()
- API, "rcu_bh" for the rcu_read_lock_bh() API, and "srcu"
- for the "srcu_read_lock()" API.
+torture_type The type of RCU to test: "rcu" for the rcu_read_lock() API,
+ "rcu_sync" for rcu_read_lock() with synchronous reclamation,
+ "rcu_bh" for the rcu_read_lock_bh() API, and "srcu" for the
+ "srcu_read_lock()" API.
verbose Enable debug printk()s. Default is disabled.
