- rcupdate.blimit= [KNL,BOOT]
+ rcutree.blimit= [KNL,BOOT]
Set maximum number of finished RCU callbacks to process
in one batch.
- rcupdate.qhimark= [KNL,BOOT]
+ rcutree.qhimark= [KNL,BOOT]
Set threshold of queued
RCU callbacks over which batch limiting is disabled.
- rcupdate.qlowmark= [KNL,BOOT]
+ rcutree.qlowmark= [KNL,BOOT]
Set threshold of queued RCU callbacks below which
batch limiting is re-enabled.
+ rcutree.rcu_cpu_stall_suppress= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Suppress RCU CPU stall warning messages.
+
+ rcutree.rcu_cpu_stall_timeout= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Set timeout for RCU CPU stall warning messages.
+
+ rcutorture.fqs_duration= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Set duration of force_quiescent_state bursts.
+
+ rcutorture.fqs_holdoff= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Set holdoff time within force_quiescent_state bursts.
+
+ rcutorture.fqs_stutter= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Set wait time between force_quiescent_state bursts.
+
+ rcutorture.irqreader= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Test RCU readers from irq handlers.
+
+ rcutorture.n_barrier_cbs= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Set callbacks/threads for rcu_barrier() testing.
+
+ rcutorture.nfakewriters= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Set number of concurrent RCU writers. These just
+ stress RCU, they don't participate in the actual
+ test, hence the "fake".
+
+ rcutorture.nreaders= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Set number of RCU readers.
+
+ rcutorture.onoff_holdoff= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Set time (s) after boot for CPU-hotplug testing.
+
+ rcutorture.onoff_interval= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Set time (s) between CPU-hotplug operations, or
+ zero to disable CPU-hotplug testing.
+
+ rcutorture.shuffle_interval= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Set task-shuffle interval (s). Shuffling tasks
+ allows some CPUs to go into dyntick-idle mode
+ during the rcutorture test.
+
+ rcutorture.shutdown_secs= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Set time (s) after boot system shutdown. This
+ is useful for hands-off automated testing.
+
+ rcutorture.stall_cpu= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Duration of CPU stall (s) to test RCU CPU stall
+ warnings, zero to disable.
+
+ rcutorture.stall_cpu_holdoff= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Time to wait (s) after boot before inducing stall.
+
+ rcutorture.stat_interval= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Time (s) between statistics printk()s.
+
+ rcutorture.stutter= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Time (s) to stutter testing, for example, specifying
+ five seconds causes the test to run for five seconds,
+ wait for five seconds, and so on. This tests RCU's
+ ability to transition abruptly to and from idle.
+
+ rcutorture.test_boost= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Test RCU priority boosting? 0=no, 1=maybe, 2=yes.
+ "Maybe" means test if the RCU implementation
+ under test support RCU priority boosting.
+
+ rcutorture.test_boost_duration= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Duration (s) of each individual boost test.
+
+ rcutorture.test_boost_interval= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Interval (s) between each boost test.
+
+ rcutorture.test_no_idle_hz= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Test RCU's dyntick-idle handling. See also the
+ rcutorture.shuffle_interval parameter.
+
+ rcutorture.torture_type= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Specify the RCU implementation to test.
+
+ rcutorture.verbose= [KNL,BOOT]
+ Enable additional printk() statements.
