Subject: [PATCH 08/11] rcuscale: Ditch rcu_scale_shutdown in favor of torture_shutdown_init()
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 15:50:34 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303235037.1967017-8-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <50d2bb98-c912-4ba6-a723-4a4aed506fdf@paulmck-laptop>
The torture_shutdown_init() function spawns a shutdown kthread in
a manner very similar to that implemented by rcu_scale_shutdown().
This commit therefore re-implements rcu_scale_shutdown() in terms of
torture_shutdown_init().
This patch was generated by Claude given as input the patch making the
same transformation of ref_scale_shutdown().
