[PATCH 5.4 089/189] rcutorture: Fix rcu_torture_one_read() pipe_count overflow comment

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

 



5.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 8b9b443fa860276822b25057cb3ff3b28734dec0 ]

The "pipe_count > RCU_TORTURE_PIPE_LEN" check has a comment saying "Should
not happen, but...".  This is only true when testing an RCU whose grace
periods are always long enough.  This commit therefore fixes this comment.
