[PATCH tip/core/rcu 22/55] rcutorture: Abstract torture_shuffle()

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Feb 17 2014 - 17:19:51 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The torture_shuffle() function forces each CPU in turn to go idle
periodically in order to check for problems interacting with per-CPU
variables and with dyntick-idle mode. Because this sort of debugging
is not specific to RCU, this commit abstracts that functionality.
This in turn requires abstracting some additional infrastructure.
