[PATCH 1/1] rcu/rcuscale: Stop kfree_scale_thread thread(s) after unloading rcuscale

From: Qiuxu Zhuo
Date: Mon Mar 13 2023 - 04:07:36 EST


When running the 'kfree_rcu_test' test case with commands [1] the call
trace [2] was thrown. This was because the kfree_scale_thread thread(s)
still run after unloading rcuscale and torture modules. Fix the call
trace by invoking kfree_scale_cleanup() when removing the rcuscale module.

[1] modprobe torture
modprobe rcuscale kfree_rcu_test=1
// After some time
rmmod rcuscale
rmmod torture
