    rcutorture: Make stutter_wait() caller restore priority · ab1b7880
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    Currently, stutter_wait() will happily spin waiting for the stutter
    interval to end even if the caller is running at a real-time priority
    level.  This could starve normal-priority tasks for no good reason.  This
    commit therefore drops the calling task's priority to SCHED_OTHER MAX_NICE
    if stutter_wait() needs to wait.  But when it waits, stutter_wait()
    returns true, which allows the caller to restore the priority if needed.
    Callers that were already running at SCHED_OTHER MAX_NICE obviously
    do not need any changes, but this commit also restores priority for
    higher-priority callers.
