[PATCH 6/8] rcutorture: Suppress rtort_pipe_count warnings until after stalls

From: Boqun Feng
Date: Mon Jan 29 2024 - 18:59:38 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, if rcu_torture_writer() sees fewer than ten grace periods
having elapsed during a call to stutter_wait() that actually waited,
the rtort_pipe_count warning is emitted. This has worked well for
a long time. Except that the rcutorture TREE07 scenario now does a
short-term 14-second RCU CPU stall, which can most definitely case
false-positive rtort_pipe_count warnings.

This commit therefore changes rcu_torture_writer() to compute the
full expected holdoff and stall duration, and to refuse to report any
rtort_pipe_count warnings until after all stalls have completed.
