[Patch] rcutorture: tag success/failure line with module parameters

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Sat Feb 04 2006 - 00:00:49 EST


Hello!

A long-running rcutorture test can overflow dmesg, so that the line
containing the module parameters is lost. Although it is usually
possible to retrieve this information from the log files, it is much
better to just tag it onto the final success/failure line so that it
may be easily found. This patch does just that.
