In a misguided attempt to avoid an #ifdef, the use of the
gp_init_delay module parameter was conditioned on the corresponding
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT Kconfig variable, using IS_ENABLED() at
the point of use in the code. This meant that the compiler always saw
the delay, which meant that RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY had to be
unconditionally defined. This in turn caused "make oldconfig" to ask
pointless questions about the value of RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY
in cases where it was not even used.
This commit avoids these pointless questions by defining gp_init_delay
under #ifdef. In one branch, gp_init_delay is initialized to
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY and is also a module parameter (thus
allowing boot-time modification), and in the other branch gp_init_delay
is a const variable initialized by default to zero.
This approach also simplifies the code at the delay point by eliminating
the IS_DEFINED(). Because gp_init_delay is constant zero in the no-delay
case intended for production use, the "gp_init_delay > 0" check causes
the delay to become dead code, as desired in this case. In addition,
this commit replaces magic constant "10" with the preprocessor variable
PER_RCU_NODE_PERIOD, which controls the number of grace periods that
are allowed to elapse at full speed before a delay is inserted.
