Subject: [PATCH rcu 3/7] rcuscale: Console output claims too few grace periods
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2021 14:04:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210721210441.796995-3-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210721210421.GA788053@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1>

From: "Jiangong.Han" <jiangong.han@windriver.com>

The rcuscale console output claims N grace periods, numbered from zero
to N, which means that there were really N+1 grace periods.  The root
cause of this bug is that rcu_scale_writer() stores the number of the
last grace period (numbered from zero) into writer_n_durations[me]
instead of the number of grace periods.  This commit therefore assigns
the actual number of grace periods to writer_n_durations[me], and also
makes the corresponding adjustment to the loop outputting per-grace-period
measurements.

Sample of old console output:
    rcu-scale: writer 0 gps: 133
    ......
    rcu-scale:    0 writer-duration:     0 44003961
    rcu-scale:    0 writer-duration:     1 32003582
    ......
    rcu-scale:    0 writer-duration:   132 28004391
    rcu-scale:    0 writer-duration:   133 27996410

Sample of new console output:
    rcu-scale: writer 0 gps: 134
    ......
    rcu-scale:    0 writer-duration:     0 44003961
    rcu-scale:    0 writer-duration:     1 32003582
    ......
    rcu-scale:    0 writer-duration:   132 28004391
    rcu-scale:    0 writer-duration:   133 27996410
