scftorture: Count single_rpc offline failures in statistics outputgrafted
scf_torture_stats_print() aggregates each invoker thread's counters
into a local scf_statistics structure before printing, but the
n_single_rpc_ofl field is missing from the aggregation loop. As a
result, the "single_rpc_ofl" value printed in the statistics line is
always zero, even when smp_call_function_single() invocations for the
RPC test have failed due to offline CPUs and been counted by the
invoker threads.
Add the missing accumulation so that the printed value reflects the
actual counts.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Large Extended Attribute Values +------------------------------- + +To enable ext4 to store extended attribute values that do not fit in the +inode or in the single extended attribute block attached to an inode, +the EA_INODE feature allows us to store the value in the data blocks of +a regular file inode. This “EA inode” is linked only from the extended +attribute name index and must not appear in a directory entry. The +inode's i_atime field is used to store a checksum of the xattr value; +and i_ctime/i_version store a 64-bit reference count, which enables +sharing of large xattr values between multiple owning inodes. For +backward compatibility with older versions of this feature, the +i_mtime/i_generation *may* store a back-reference to the inode number +and i_generation of the **one** owning inode (in cases where the EA +inode is not referenced by multiple inodes) to verify that the EA inode +is the correct one being accessed. |
