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.

Paul E. McKenney authored
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().

Currently, rcutorture can terminate via rmmod, via self-shutdown, via something else shutting the system down, or of course the usual catastrophic termination. The first two get flagged, so this commit adds a message for the third. For the fourth, your warranty is void as always. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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 this sort of debugging is not specific to RCU, this commit abstracts that functionality. This in turn requires abstracting some additional infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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. This implies pulling the fullstop mechanism into kernel/torture.c as well. The exporting of fullstop and fullstop_mutex is ugly and must die. And it does in fact die in later commits that introduce higher-level APIs that encapsulate both of these variables. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Running the standard set of rcutorture tests on 24 CPUs results in the following sub-optimal schedule: ----start batch---- TREE07 16 ----start batch---- TREE08 16 SRCU-P 8 ----start batch---- TREE01 8 TREE02 8 TREE03 8 ----start batch---- TREE04 8 TREE05 8 TREE06 8 ----start batch---- SRCU-N 4 TINY01 1 TINY02 1 TREE09 1 If one of the eight-CPU runs were to be moved into the first batch, the test suite would complete in four batches rather than five. This commit therefore uses a greedy algorithm to re-order the test entries so that the sequential batching will produce an optimal schedule in this case: ----start batch---- TREE07 16 SRCU-P 8 ----start batch---- TREE08 16 TREE01 8 ----start batch---- TREE02 8 TREE03 8 TREE04 8 ----start batch---- TREE05 8 TREE06 8 SRCU-N 4 TINY01 1 TINY02 1 TREE09 1 Please note that this is still not an optimal bin-packing algorithm, however, it does produce optimal solutions for most common scenarios.

Actual rcutorture tests take considerable time and machine resources, so it is inconvenient to actually do an rcutorture run when optimizing the bin-packing algorithm. This commit therefore adds a --dryrun argument, which defaults to doing a run, but for which "sched" says to simply print the run schedule and "script" dumps the script without running it.

The rcutorture tests run by default range from using one CPU to using sixteen of them. Therefore, rcutorture testing could be sped up significantly simply by running the kernels in parallel. Building them in parallel is not all that helpful: "make -j" is usually a better bet. So this commit takes a new "--cpus" argument that specifies how many CPUs rcutorture is permitted to use for its parallel runs. The default of zero does sequential runs as before. The bin-packing is minimal, and will be grossly suboptimal for some configurations. However, powers of two work reasonably well. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Both SRCU-P and SRCU-N specify eight CPUs, which results in four iterations for a parallel run on 32 CPUs.

Parallel rcutorture runs is valuable on large systems, but it is not a good idea to do (say) five builds in parallel if each build believes it has the whole system at its disposal, especially if the system is shared. It is also bad to restrict the build to (say) a single CPU just because the corresponding rcutorture run uses only a single CPU. This commit therefore adds a kvm-test-1-rcu.sh ability to pause after the build completes, which will allow kvm.sh to do a number of builds serially (with each build thus having the full system at its disposal), then allow the rcutorture runs to proceed in parallel.
