Subject: [PATCH v2] perf test workload: Add thread count argument to thloop
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 08:38:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251028153821.4003666-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)

Allow the number of threads for the thloop workload to be increased
beyond the normal 2. Add error checking to the parsed time and thread
count values.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v2: Perform the pthread_join unconditionally and ensure started
    threads terminate.
