    Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 044/217] refscale: Prevent hangs for invalid arguments
    Date
    From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

    [ Upstream commit bc80d353b3f565138cda7e95ed4020e6e69360b2 ]

    If an refscale torture-test run is given a bad kvm.sh argument, the
    test will complain to the console, which is good. What is bad is that
    from the user's perspective, it will just hang for the time specified
    by the --duration argument. This commit therefore forces an immediate
    kernel shutdown if a ref_scale_init()-time error occurs, thus avoiding
    the appearance of a hang. It also forces a console splat in this case
    to clearly indicate the presence of an error.
