Joel Fernandes (Google) 5268d95c06 rcutorture: Fix stuttering races and other issues ... [ Upstream commit cca42bd8eb ] The stuttering code isn't functioning as expected. Ideally, it should pause the torture threads for a designated period before resuming. Yet, it fails to halt the test for the correct duration. Additionally, a race condition exists, potentially causing the stuttering code to pause for an extended period if the 'spt' variable is non-zero due to the stutter orchestration thread's inadequate CPU time. Moreover, over-stuttering can hinder RCU's progress on TREE07 kernels. This happens as the stuttering code may run within a softirq due to RCU callbacks. Consequently, ksoftirqd keeps a CPU busy for several seconds, thus obstructing RCU's progress. This situation triggers a warning message in the logs: [ 2169.481783] rcu_torture_writer: rtort_pipe_count: 9 This warning suggests that an RCU torture object, although invisible to RCU readers, couldn't make it past the pipe array and be freed -- a strong indication that there weren't enough grace periods during the stutter interval. To address these issues, this patch sets the "stutter end" time to an absolute point in the future set by the main stutter thread. This is then used for waiting in stutter_wait(). While the stutter thread still defines this absolute time, the waiters' waiting logic doesn't rely on the stutter thread receiving sufficient CPU time to halt the stuttering as the halting is now self-controlled.
