[PATCH v2 3/3] kfence: test: try to avoid test_gfpzero trigger rcu_stall

From: Peng Liu
Date: Wed Mar 09 2022 - 03:19:59 EST


When CONFIG_KFENCE_NUM_OBJECTS is set to a big number, kfence
kunit-test-case test_gfpzero will eat up nearly all the CPU's
resources and rcu_stall is reported as the following log which
is cut from a physical server.

rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU
rcu: 68-....: (14422 ticks this GP) idle=6ce/1/0x4000000000000002
softirq=592/592 fqs=7500 (t=15004 jiffies g=10677 q=20019)

To avoid rcu_stall and unacceptable latency, a schedule point is
added to test_gfpzero.
