locktorture: Add infrastructure for torturing read locks Most of it is based on what we already have for writers. This allows readers to be very independent (and thus configurable), enabling future module parameters to control things such as rw distribution. Furthermore, readers have their own delaying function, allowing us to test different rw critical region latencies, and stress locking internals. Similarly, statistics, for now will only serve for the number of lock acquisitions -- as opposed to writers, readers have no failure detection. In addition, introduce a new nreaders_stress module parameter. The default number of readers will be the same number of writers threads. Writer threads are interleaved with readers. Documentation is updated, respectively. Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
