If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Joel Fernandes (Google) commit d52d3a2bf408ff86f3a79560b5cce80efb340239 upstream. During rcutorture shutdown, the rcu_torture_cleanup() function calls torture_cleanup_begin(), which sets the fullstop global variable to FULLSTOP_RMMOD. This causes the rcutorture threads for readers and fakewriters to exit all of their "while" loops and start shutting down. They then call torture_kthread_stopping(), which in turn waits for kthread_stop() to be called. However, rcu_torture_cleanup() has not yet called kthread_stop() on those threads, and before it gets a chance to do so, multiple instances of torture_kthread_stopping() invoke schedule_timeout_interruptible(1) in a tight loop. Tracing confirms that TIMER_SOFTIRQ can then continuously execute timer callbacks. If that TIMER_SOFTIRQ preempts the task executing rcu_torture_cleanup(), that task might never invoke kthread_stop(). This commit improves this situation by increasing the timeout passed to schedule_timeout_interruptible() from one jiffy to 1/20th of a second. This change prevents TIMER_SOFTIRQ from monopolizing its CPU, thus allowing rcu_torture_cleanup() to carry out the needed kthread_stop() invocations. Testing has shown 100 runs of TREE07 passing reliably, as oppose to the tens-of-percent failure rates seen beforehand.
