[PATCH tip/core/rcu 4/4] locktorture: Forgive apparent unfairness if CPU hotplug

From: paulmck
Date: Fri Feb 14 2020 - 19:03:58 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>

If CPU hotplug testing is enabled, a lock might appear to be maximally
unfair just because one of the CPUs was offline almost all the time.
This commit therefore forgives unfairness if CPU hotplug testing was
enabled.
