Very good, thank you!
Of those five options (TREE01, TREE02, TREE03, TREE04, and rcuscale), which one should be changed so that my own testing automatically covers the rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp=1 case? I would guess that we should leave out TREE03, since it covers tall rcu_node trees. TREE01 looks closest to the ChromeOS/Android use case, but you tell me!
And it might be time to rework the test cases to better align with the use cases. For example, I created TREE10 to cover Meta's fleet. But ChromeOS and Android have relatively small numbers of CPUs, so it should be possible to rework things a bit to make one of the existing tests cover that case, while modifying other tests to take up any situations that these changes exclude.
Thoughts?
Thanx, Paul
