R/W semaphore tester module

From: David Howells
Date: Fri Jun 11 2004 - 10:25:47 EST



Hi Andi,

I rendered my rwsem testsuite down to a single module that takes a bunch of
parameters to tell it how many threads to run.

Run the module with something like:

insmod /tmp/rwsem-any.ko numrd=10 numwr=4 numdg=4 elapse=30 do_sched=1

And it'll start 10 reader threads, 4 writer threads, and 4 write-downgrade
threads. It'll run for 30 seconds, and each thread will invoke schedule()
after every cycle.

The module will exit on error ENOANO if successful so that it doesn't need to
be removed later:

[root@host135 root]# insmod /tmp/rwsem-any.ko
Error inserting `/tmp/rwsem-any.ko': -1 No anode

And it'll print a summary to the kernel console:

rwsem_any starting tests...
Write0: done
Read0: done
Down0: done
rwsem counter = 0
reads taken: 90636
writes taken: 181496
downgrades taken: 90648
