Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 13/30] refperf: Tune reader measurement interval
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2020 17:29:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200623003013.26252-13-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200623002941.GA26089@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

This commit moves a printk() out of the measurement interval, converts
a atomic_dec()/atomic_read() pair to atomic_dec_and_test(), and adds
a smp_mb__before_atomic() to avoid potential wake/wait hangs.  These
changes have the added benefit of reducing the number of loops required
for amortizing loop overhead for CONFIG_PREEMPT=n RCU measurements from
1,000,000 to 10,000.  This reduction in turn shortens the test, reducing
the probability of interference.
