From a2f2577d96ad060b65eb909dd39b57d676754119 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2017 20:19:17 -0800 Subject: torture: Eliminate torture_runnable and perf_runnable The purpose of torture_runnable is to allow rcutorture and locktorture to be started and stopped via sysfs when they are built into the kernel (as in not compiled as loadable modules). However, the 0444 permissions for both instances of torture_runnable prevent this use case from ever being put into practice. Given that there have been no complaints about this deficiency, it is reasonable to conclude that no one actually makes use of this sysfs capability. The perf_runnable module parameter for rcuperf is in the same situation. This commit therefore removes both torture_runnable instances as well as perf_runnable.
