But just out of curiosity, when you boot with locktorture built in, do you specify the shutdown_secs boot parameter?

In my test, I just built locktorture test into kernel instead of a module then check how it behaves, no specific purpose. It sounds like not a normal approach to use it.

You said that there is no lock type specified, but that should mean that the default ("spin_lock") is chosen. If so, I would expect it to just do the test, at least if locktorture.torture_runnable has been set. Either way, the usual way to make locktorture shut up would be to boot with locktorture.stat_interval=0. > >If not, I would like to know more about your use case. > > In my test, I just built locktorture test into kernel instead of a > module then check how it behaves, no specific purpose. > > It sounds like not a normal approach to use it.

And, it is readonly parameter too. This prevents torture from running if it is built into kernel instead of module. Actually, I'm confused why there is not LOCK_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE Kconfig like RCU torture?
