Subject: [PATCH] locktorture: fix wrong parameter handling
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2015 14:14:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1444392885-6691-1-git-send-email-borntraeger@de.ibm.com> (raw)
Calling locktorture with a wrong parameter makes it
unusable:
$ modprobe locktorture torture_type=help
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'locktorture': Invalid argument
$ modprobe locktorture torture_type=spin_lock
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'locktorture': Device or resource busy
$ dmesg
[...]
torture_init_begin: refusing spin_lock init: help running
We can easily do the checking before call into the torture framework.
