[PATCH tip/core/rcu 43/55] rcu: Make rcu_torture_boost() exit loops at end of test

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Sep 07 2011 - 02:25:40 EST


From: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@xxxxxxxxxx>

One of the loops in rcu_torture_boost() fails to check kthread_should_stop(),
and thus might be slowing or even stopping completion of rcutorture tests
at rmmod time. This commit adds the kthread_should_stop() check to the
offending loop.
