This series fixes:
- module cleanup
- error propagation from stress workers
- transient -EDEADLK handling in test_cycle_work()
- timeout-related false negatives in stress_inorder_work()
The series is re-based on v7.2-rc2 and has been tested on a 96-CPU
x86_64 bare-metal system and a 160-CPU arm64 bare-metal system. Both
systems completed 100 iterations of
tools/testing/selftests/locking/ww_mutex.sh successfully with the
self-test as a module. With the self-test as a built-in, both systems
survived:
for N in {1..100}; do
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/test_ww_mutex/run_tests
done
The main differences between the original contribution and this v2, is
that the first patch retains the sysfs file when the test is built-in,
even in case of error (suggested by John Stultz). There is no change
in the second commit, except for John's a-b. In the third commit, the
endless spinning acquiring the mutex has been replaced by a modest
for-loop, which follows the WW big-rules wrt. contention.
The last patch has an improved commit message.
Håkon Bugge (4):
test-ww_mutex: Fix module cleanup
test-ww_mutex: Report errors from stress workers
test-ww_mutex: Handle transient -EDEADLK in test_cycle_work
test-ww_mutex: Retry lock acquisition after timeout if deadlocked
