[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v9 2/4] test/rcu_qsbr: add API and functional tests

[Honnappa Nagarahalli]

Summary of discussions with David.
I am not able to reproduce the 'Test Fail' issue. However, log indicates an issue in the test code. David has validated the patch and I will send it out soon.

The test case taking long time to complete happens when the code is compiled with '-O0 -g', but the test case itself completes. The test cases are currently tuned to take less time when compiled with '-O3'.

Thanks,
Honnappa

Did not investigate, but this test always fails on my laptop.
Tried multiple times, I caught one instance when the test was still burning cpu after 5 minutes and I killed it.

Usually, it fails like this:
