[PATCH RFC v2 16/24] hazptrtorture: Add irq_release to release hazptr from irq
From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Jul 15 2026 - 20:23:29 EST
This commit adds the irq_release module parameter, which specifies how
often hazard pointers will be released from an smp_call_function_single()
handler. For example, a value of 10 would result in one of of ten
hazard-pointer acquisitions taking place in a handler, and probably also
death by excessive numbers of handlers. A value of zero disables, and
a value of -1 makes the frequency decrease as a function of the number
of CPUs.
