[RFC v2 1/6] scsi_debug: randomize command completion time

Douglas Gilbert
2020-01-09T08:30:44Z

Add a new command line option (e.g. random=1) and sysfs attribute
that causes subsequent command completion times to be between the
current command delay setting and 0. A unformily distributed 32
bit, kernel provided integer is used for this purpose.

Since the existing 'delay' whose units are jiffies (typically
milliseconds) and 'ndelay' (units: nanoseconds) options (and sysfs
attributes) span a range greater than 32 bits, some scaling is
required.

The purpose of this patch is to widen the range of testing cases
that are visited in long running tests. Put simply: rarely struct
race conditions are more likely to be found when this facility is
used.

The default is the previous case in which all command completions
were roughly equal to (if not, slightly longer) than the value
given by the 'delay' or 'ndelay' settings (or their defaults).
This option's default is equivalent to setting 'random=0' .
