[PATCH rcu 14/18] torture: Avoid torture-test reboot loops

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Jul 17 2023 - 14:24:49 EST


Currently, the various torture tests sometimes react to an early-boot
bug by rebooting. This is almost always counterproductive, needlessly
consuming CPU time and bloating the console log. This commit therefore
adds the "-no-reboot" argument to qemu so that reboot requests will
cause qemu to exit.
