file_path=<path> defines file or directory to open lock_inode=Y set lock_rwsem_ptr to inode->i_rwsem lock_mapping=Y set lock_rwsem_ptr to mapping->i_mmap_rwsem lock_sb_umount=Y set lock_rwsem_ptr to sb->s_umount This gives safe and simple way to see how system reacts to contention of common vfs locks and how syscalls depend on them directly or indirectly. For example to block s_umount for 60 seconds: # modprobe test_lockup file_path=. lock_sb_umount time_secs=60 state=S This is useful for checking/testing scalability issues like this: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/158497590858.7371.9311902565121473436.stgit@buzz/ Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Cc: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/158498153964.5621.83061779039255681.stgit@buzz Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
