[PATCH rcu 04/18] rcutorture: Decorate failing reader segments with CPU ID

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This commit adds CPU number to the "Failure/close-call rcutorture reader
segments" list printed at the end of an rcutorture run that had too-short
grace periods.  This information can help debugging interactions with
migration and CPU hotplug.

However, experience indicates that sampling the CPU number in rcutorture's
read-side code can reduce the probability of too-short bugs by a small
integer factor.  And small integer factors are crucial to RCU bug hunting,
so this commit also introduces a default-off RCU_TORTURE_TEST_LOG_CPU
Kconfig option to enable this CPU-number-logging functionality at
build time.
