[PATCH rcu 1/4] torture: Scale scftorture memory based on number of CPUs

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Jul 17 2023 - 14:18:48 EST


As the number of CPUs increases, the number of outstanding no-wait
smp_call_function() handlers also increases, so that the default of
2G of memory is not always sufficient on 80-CPU systems. This commit
therefore scales the amount of memory specified to qemu based on the
number of CPUs specified to the scftorture test instance.
