[PATCH v2 04/11] rcutorture: Suppress "Writer stall state" reports during boot
Posted by Paul E. McKenney 1 week, 6 days ago
When rcutorture is running on only the one boot-time CPU while that CPU
is busy invoking initcall() functions, the added load is quite likely to
unduly delay the RCU grace-period kthread, rcutorture readers, and much
else besides.  This can result in rcu_torture_stats_print() reporting
rcutorture writer stalls, which are not really a bug in that environment.
After all, one CPU can only do so much.

This commit therefore suppresses rcutorture writer stalls while the
kernel is booting, that is, while rcu_inkernel_boot_has_ended() continues
returning false.
