[PATCH tip/core/rcu 07/17] rcutorture: Prepare for asynchronous access to rcu_fwd_startat

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Sun Nov 11 2018 - 15:21:43 EST


Because rcutorture's forward-progress checking will trigger from an
OOM notifier, this notifier will introduce asynchronous concurrent
access to the rcu_fwd_startat variable. This commit therefore prepares
for this by converting updates to WRITE_ONCE().
