[PATCH] rtla/timerlat: Do not set params->user_workload with -U
Posted by tglozar@redhat.com 1 month ago
From: Tomas Glozar <tglozar@redhat.com>

Since commit fb9e90a67ee9 ("rtla/timerlat: Make user-space threads
the default"), rtla-timerlat has been defaulting to
params->user_workload if neither that or params->kernel_workload is set.
This has unintentionally made -U, which sets only params->user_hist/top
but not params->user_workload, to behave like -u unless -k is set,
preventing the user from running a custom workload.

Example:
$ rtla timerlat hist -U -c 0 &
[1] 7413
$ python sample/timerlat_load.py 0
Error opening timerlat fd, did you run timerlat -U?
$ ps | grep timerlatu
7415 pts/4    00:00:00 timerlatu/0

Fix the issue by checking for params->user_top/hist instead of
params->user_workload when setting default thread mode.

Fixes: fb9e90a67ee9 ("rtla/timerlat: Make user-space threads
the default")
