Subject: [PATCH -tip-rcu] Make rcutorture more vicious: make quiescent rcutorture less power-hungry
Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2008 13:06:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080622200638.GA25328@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080618162649.GA18326@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch makes the non-module rcutorture a bit more friendly to
the power-conservation code.  This is a rather simple-minded approach.
More sophisticated approaches would get rid of the rcutorture tasks
while rcutorture execution was suppressed, but attempts thus far to
do this have not gone well -- calling rcu_torture_init() from a /proc
callout results in oopses.
