[RFC][PATCH 0/3] Fixes for test-ww_mutex stress test

From: John Stultz
Date: Tue Aug 08 2023 - 14:55:44 EST


As part of recent stabilizing of the proxy-execution series,
I've seen a number of issues from the test-ww_mutex module.

This is great for shaking out problems in the patches, but
in some cases it seems the patch series has made it easier
to uncover problems in the test-ww_mutex stress tests.

So this patch series provides a few fixes that I've come
up with in testing with qemu using large cpu counts.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated!

thanks
