Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 16/24] hazptrtorture: Add irq_release to release hazptr from irq
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 17:18:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716001809.11084-16-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <23e34c2e-67fd-45da-b130-e70a131a59ea@paulmck-laptop>
This commit adds the irq_release module parameter, which specifies how
often hazard pointers will be released from an smp_call_function_single()
handler. For example, a value of 10 would result in one of of ten
hazard-pointer acquisitions taking place in a handler, and probably also
death by excessive numbers of handlers. A value of zero disables, and
a value of -1 makes the frequency decrease as a function of the number
of CPUs.
