[PATCH] add success/failure indication to RCU torture test

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue Nov 15 2005 - 14:53:23 EST


Hello!

One issue with the RCU torture test is that the current error flagging
can be lost in dmesg. This patch adds a "SUCCESS"/"FAILURE" string
to the line that flags the end of the test, where it can easily be
seen with "dmesg | tail" at the end of the test. Also adds tests of
architecture-specific memory barriers -- or, more likely, of the RCU
torture test itself.
