The rt boosting in locktorture has a factor variable s currently large enough that boosting only happens once every minute or so. Add a tunable to reduce the factor so that boosting happens more often, to test paths and arrive at failure modes earlier. With this change, I can set the factor to like 50 and have the boosting happens every 10 seconds or so. Tested with boot parameters: locktorture.torture_type=mutex_lock locktorture.onoff_interval=1 locktorture.nwriters_stress=8 locktorture.stutter=0 locktorture.rt_boost=1 locktorture.rt_boost_factor=50 locktorture.nlocks=3 Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Reviewed-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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.
