    rcutorture: Allow negative values of nreaders to oversubscribe · 3838cc18
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    By default, with rcutorture.nreaders equal to -1, rcutorture provisions
    N-1 reader kthreads, where N is the number of CPUs.  This avoids
    rcutorture-induced stalls, but also avoids heavier levels of torture.
    This commit therefore allows negative values of rcutorture.nreaders
    to specify larger numbers of reader kthreads, so that for example
    rcutorture.nreaders=-2 provisions N kthreads and rcutorture.nreaders=-5
    provisions N+3 kthreads.
