Subject: [PATCH 0/2] rcutorture: Add parameter usage warnings

From: Lihao Liang <[email protected]>

Hi Paul,

Please find a patch series that adds rcutorture parameter usage warnings
against your git branch rcu/dev

commit e2c83bca7e80 ("EXP: rcu: Add ->boost_tasks to assertion")

Patch no.1 contains the actual changes. Patch no.2 is for testing purposes only
and is not intended to be merged. It seems that the scripts didn’t pick up the
lines in BUSTED02.boot that set the value of gp_normal and gp_exp. But when I
hard-coded gp_normal to true in rcutorture.c, it did print out
"rcu_torture_writer3: gp_sync without primitives" as expected.

It may be better to have more informative warning messages for the new if-else blocks
in patch no.1. Feel free to revise them.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Many thanks,
Lihao.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rcutorture: Add usage warnings for parameters gp_normal and gp_exp

From: Lihao Liang <[email protected]>

In rcu_torture_fakewriter(), when param gp_normal is equal to
gp_exp (even when they are false), both cur_ops->sync() and
cur_ops->exp_sync() may be invoked. This commit checks that
if any of them is NULL, it will print out a warning message.
It also emits a warning if gp_normal is true but cur_ops->sync()
is NULL.

I think the last else-if block is redundant and I choose to include it
for completeness. In addition, it may be better to have more informative
warning messages for the new if-else blocks. Feel free to revise them.

Queued for review and testing, thank you! Passes light rcutorture
testing.

Thanx, Paul
