    refperf: Tune reader measurement interval · b864f89f
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    This commit moves a printk() out of the measurement interval, converts
    a atomic_dec()/atomic_read() pair to atomic_dec_and_test(), and adds
    a smp_mb__before_atomic() to avoid potential wake/wait hangs.  These
    changes have the added benefit of reducing the number of loops required
    for amortizing loop overhead for CONFIG_PREEMPT=n RCU measurements from
    1,000,000 to 10,000.  This reduction in turn shortens the test, reducing
    the probability of interference.
