Thanks for fixing it.

Would it be better to call it 'RCUPERF_TEST' instead of the
'RCU_PERFORMANCE_TEST' you are proposing? I feel the word 'PERFORMANCE' is
too long. Also, 'rcuperf test' instead of the 'rcu performance test' you are
proposing. I am Ok with doing it however you and Paul want it though, let me
know.

Paul, should I send you a renaming patch for the new performance tests as
well (which I believe should be in the -dev branch).

thanks,

- Joel
