[ Upstream commit ad092c027713a68a34168942a5ef422e42e039f4 ] If the specified rcuperf.perf_type is not in the rcu_perf_init() function's perf_ops[] array, rcuperf prints some console messages and then invokes rcu_perf_cleanup() to set state so that a future torture test can run. However, rcu_perf_cleanup() also attempts to end the test that didn't actually start, and in doing so relies on the value of cur_ops, a value that is not particularly relevant in this case. This can result in confusing output or even follow-on failures due to attempts to use facilities that have not been properly initialized. This commit therefore sets the value of cur_ops to NULL in this case and inserts a check near the beginning of rcu_perf_cleanup(), thus avoiding relying on an irrelevant cur_ops value.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
