From 9b9ec9b90ef481e182927989963274dc2697f9a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 14:36:51 -0800 Subject: rcutorture: Permit holding off CPU-hotplug operations during boot When rcutorture is started automatically at boot time, it might well also start CPU-hotplug operations at that time, which might not be desirable. This commit therefore adds an rcutorture parameter that allows CPU-hotplug operations to be held off for the specified number of seconds after the start of boot. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
