[PATCH rcu 2/2] rcutorture: Use the barrier operation specified by cur_ops
Posted by Paul E. McKenney 3 years, 7 months ago
From: Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@intel.com>

The rcutorture_oom_notify() function unconditionally invokes
rcu_barrier(), which is OK when the rcutorture.torture_type value is
"rcu", but unhelpful otherwise.  The purpose of these barrier calls is to
wait for all outstanding callback-flooding callbacks to be invoked before
cleaning up their data.  Using the wrong barrier function therefore
risks arbitrary memory corruption.  Thus, this commit changes these
rcu_barrier() calls into cur_ops->cb_barrier() to make things work when
torturing non-vanilla flavors of RCU.
