When running the tasks-rude and srcu-atomic tests, the fwd_prog_tasks
kthread is created because the default value of fwd_progress is 1.
however, the two RCU flavors not support ->call():
1. tasks-rude: commit b428a9de9bba ("rcutorture: Stop testing RCU Tasks
Rude asynchronous APIs") removed .call and .cb_barrier from tasks-rude,
but left the .cbflood_max = 50000.
2. srcu-atomic: srcu_torture_init_forbidden_apis() sets ->call to NULL
for SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_ATOMIC runs, but leaves ->cbflood_max untouched.
In both cases, the non-zero ->cbflood_max fools the check above into
creating the fwd_prog_tasks kthreads, even though those kthreads cannot
possibly carry out any forward-progress test:
1. The rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cr() returns immediately due to cur_ops->call
is NULL:
[ 68.022674] rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cr: No ->call(), so no forward-progress test 0
[ 129.462046] rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cr: No ->call(), so no forward-progress test 0
[ 190.902123] rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cr: No ->call(), so no forward-progress test 0
[ 252.343809] rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cr: No ->call(), so no forward-progress test 0
2. The rcu_torture_fwd_prog_nr() is never even invoked, because its caller
requires cur_ops->stall_dur, and neither tasks-rude nor srcu-atomic
provide ->stall_dur (only rcu_ops does).
Therefore, creating fwd_prog_tasks kthreads is pointless, this commit adds
->call and ->cb_barrier to the forward-progress check, rejecting flavors
that lack the cbflood_max set and a positive ->stall_dur.
simple verification output:
[ 3.062959][ T1] srcu-torture: rcu_torture_fwd_prog_init: Disabled, unsupported by RCU flavor under test
[ 2.922323][ T1] tasks-rude-torture: rcu_torture_fwd_prog_init: Disabled, unsupported by RCU flavor under test
