[PATCH tip/core/rcu 09/17] rcutorture: Vary forward-progress test interval

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Aug 29 2018 - 17:48:28 EST


Some of the Linux kernel's RCU implementations provide several mechanisms
to promote forward progress that operate over different timeframes.
This commit therefore causes rcu_torture_fwd_prog() to vary the duration
of its forward-progress testing in order to test each such mechanism.
