However, such a mis-setting would only result in failing to measure the performance for a specific kind of grace periods, therefore using a WARN_ON to check this is a little overkilling. We could handle this inside rcuperf module via some error messages to tell users about the mis-settings. Therefore this patch removes the WARN_ON in rcu_perf_writer() and handles those checkings in rcu_perf_init() with plain if() code. Moreover, this patch changes the default value of gp_exp to 1) align with rcutorture tests and 2) make the default setting work for all RCU implementations by default. Suggested-by: Paul E.
