Subject: rcutorture: Flag nonexistent RCU GP kthread
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a0e3a3aa2841d5720a277de53b6882eb8b2ef698;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

rcutorture: Flag nonexistent RCU GP kthread

Currently, if the RCU grace-period kthread has not yet been created,
in which case the starvation-check code will print zero for the state,
which maps to TASK_RUNNING.  This could clearly be quite confusing, so
this commit prints ~0, which does not map to any legal ->state value.
