2015-10-06locktorture: Support rtmutex torturingDavidlohr Bueso1-0/+6
Real time mutexes is one of the few general primitives that we do not have in locktorture. Address this -- a few considerations: o To spice things up, enable competing thread(s) to become rt, such that we can stress different prio boosting paths in the rtmutex code. Introduce a ->task_boost callback, only used by rtmutex-torturer. Tasks will boost/deboost around every 50k (arbitrarily) lock/unlock operations. o Hold times are similar to what we have for other locks: only occasionally having longer hold times (per ~200k ops). So we roughly do two full rt boost+deboosting ops with short hold times. Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
