From 095777c417db142970adeb776fa0cb10810b8122 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2015 14:07:27 -0700 Subject: locktorture: Support rtmutex torturing Real time mutexes is one of the few general primitives that we do not have in locktorture. Address this -- a few considerations: o To spice things up, enable competing thread(s) to become rt, such that we can stress different prio boosting paths in the rtmutex code. Introduce a ->task_boost callback, only used by rtmutex-torturer. Tasks will boost/deboost around every 50k (arbitrarily) lock/unlock operations. o Hold times are similar to what we have for other locks: only occasionally having longer hold times (per ~200k ops). So we roughly do two full rt boost+deboosting ops with short hold times. Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso Signed-off-by: Paul E.
