From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The rcu_torture_fwd_prog_nr() tests the ability of RCU to tolerate in-kernel busy loops. It invokes rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cond_resched() within its delay loop, which, in PREEMPT && NO_HZ_FULL kernels results in the occasional direct call to schedule(). Now, this direct call to schedule() is appropriate for call_rcu() flood testing, in which either the kernel should restrain itself or userspace transitions will supply the needed restraint. But in pure in-kernel loops, the occasional cond_resched() should do the job. This commit therefore makes rcu_torture_fwd_prog_nr() use cond_resched() instead of rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cond_resched() in order to increase the brutality of this aspect of rcutorture testing.
