[RFC PATCH 15/18] ring_buffer: Allow to exit the ring buffer benchmark immediately

From: Petr Mladek
Date: Fri Jun 05 2015 - 11:04:52 EST


It takes a while until the ring_buffer_benchmark module is removed
when the ring buffer hammer is running. It is because it takes
few seconds and kthread_should_terminate() is not being checked.

This patch adds the check for kthread termination into the producer.
It uses the existing kill_test flag to finish the kthreads as
cleanly as possible.

It disables printing the "ERROR" message when the kthread is going.

Also it makes sure that producer does not go into the 10sec sleep
when it is being killed.
