Subject: [PATCH -next v1 07/16] rcuscale: Ditch rcu_scale_shutdown in favor of torture_shutdown_init()
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 17:22:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317212217.1527644-8-joelagnelf@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260317212217.1527644-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com>
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>
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().
