Subject: [PATCH 15/28] hazptrtorture: Add the ability to disable the writer kthread
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:00:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919000056.3132131-15-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <e9669b34-12c2-4cf2-a887-315f581f0789@paulmck-laptop>
This commit adds a hazptrtorture.nwriters module parameter that, when set
to zero, disables hazard-pointer update-side activity.
[ paulmck: Apply Breno Leitao feedback. ]
