As soon as torture_cleanup_end() is invoked, in theory, another torture test might start. Yes, in practice, this would only matter if the next module was again scftorture and you aren't supposed to modprobe a given module until after the prior rmmod has completed, which would prevent this scf_cleanup_free_list() from interacting with the incoming instance of scftorture. But why even allow the possibility? Thanx, Paul > } > > static int __init scf_torture_init(void) > -- > 2.45.2 >

scf_handler() is used as a SMP function call. This function is always invoked in IRQ-context even with forced-threading enabled. This function frees memory which not allowed on PREEMPT_RT because the locking underneath is using sleeping locks. Add a per-CPU scf_free_pool where each SMP functions adds its memory to be freed. This memory is then freed by scftorture_invoker() on each iteration. On the majority of invocations the number of items is less than five. If the thread sleeps/ gets delayed the number exceed 350 but did not reach 400 in testing. These were the spikes during testing. The bulk free of 64 pointers at once should improve the give-back if the list grows. The list size is ~1.3 items per invocations. Having one global scf_free_pool with one cleaning thread let the list grow to over 10.000 items with 32 CPUs (again, spikes not the average) especially if the CPU went to sleep. The per-CPU part looks like a good compromise. Reported-by: "Paul E.
