Merge branch 'rhashtable-test-enhancements'
Phil Sutter says:
====================
improve fault-tolerance of rhashtable runtime-test
The following series aims to improve lib/test_rhashtable in different
situations:
Patch 1 allows the kernel to reschedule so the test does not block too
long on slow systems.
Patch 2 fixes behaviour under pressure, retrying inserts in non-permanent
error case (-EBUSY).
Patch 3 auto-adjusts the upper table size limit according to the number
of threads (in concurrency test). In fact, the current default is
already too small.
Patch 4 makes it possible to retry inserts even in supposedly permanent
error case (-ENOMEM) to expose rhashtable's remaining problem of
-ENOMEM being not as permanent as it is expected to be.
Changes since v1:
- Introduce insert_retry() which is then used in single-threaded test as
well.
- Do not retry inserts by default if -ENOMEM was returned.
- Rename the retry counter to be a bit more verbose about what it
contains.
- Add patch 4 as a debugging aid.
