Subject: [PATCH v6 3/4] rcuscale: Add laziness and kfree tests
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2022 22:01:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220922220104.2446868-4-joel@joelfernandes.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220922220104.2446868-1-joel@joelfernandes.org>

We add 2 tests to rcuscale, first one is a startup test to check whether
we are not too lazy or too hard working. Two, emulate kfree_rcu() itself
to use call_rcu() and check memory pressure. In my testing, the new
call_rcu() does well to keep memory pressure under control, similar
to kfree_rcu().
