Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] locktorture: Allow non-rtmutex lock types to be boosted

Currently RT boosting is only done for rtmutex_lock, however with proxy
execution, we also have the mutex_lock participating in priorities. To
exercise the testing better, add RT boosting to other lock testing types
as well, using a new knob (rt_boost).

Tested with boot parameters:
locktorture.torture_type=mutex_lock
locktorture.onoff_interval=1
locktorture.nwriters_stress=8
locktorture.stutter=0
locktorture.rt_boost=1
locktorture.rt_boost_factor=1
locktorture.nlocks=3

For the rtmutex test, rt_boost is always enabled even if disabling is
requested.

Hey Davidlohr,
Nice to hear from you. Paul was interested in these for some things he is looking at and also as general clean up ;)

Thanks.

No particular objection to the patches, but shouldn't these go as part
of the next iteration of the PE series?

Sorry if this was already discussed, but what would be the intent of option 2 without PE?

Np, Yes it was discussed. I would like to be, in order to exercise
more scheduler paths. It is not an invasive change in any case. We
have had issues with race conditions in the scheduler paths in the
past, that I would prefer to have in the test.

The scheduler has become incredibly complex over time with new
features such as core scheduling and heisenbugs are showing up. I am
still fighting an old 4.19 kernel issue which is likely scheduler
related, for instance.

Thanks.

Nice, thank you!

Except that "git am -3" doesn't know about the commit on which this
is based. Could you please rebase onto the -rcu tree's "dev" branch?

Though there is nothing touching kernel/locking/locktorture.c in
-rcu at the moment, so I confess some curiosity as to exactly what
these patches are based on. ;-)

Thanx, Paul
