[PATCH 2/2] torture: Add lock_torture_writer_fifo module param

From: John Stultz
Date: Fri Jun 02 2023 - 18:02:42 EST


From: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@xxxxxxx>

Modifies locktorture writer to run as RT task.

To use it:
insmod /lib/modules/torture.ko random_shuffle=1 lock_torture_writer_fifo=1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
insmod /lib/modules/locktorture.ko torture_type=mutex_lock rt_boost=1 rt_boost_factor=50 nested_locks=3

This patch has been helpful to uncover issues with the proxy-execution
seires.
