+Subject: [PATCH 13/62] rcutorture: Also force sched priority to timersd on
+ boosting test.
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.1/older/patches-6.1.69-rt21.tar.xz
+
+ksoftirqd is statically boosted to the priority level right above the
+one of rcu_torture_boost() so that timers, which torture readers rely on,
+get a chance to run while rcu_torture_boost() is polling.
+
+However timers processing got split from ksoftirqd into their own kthread
+(timersd) that isn't boosted. It has the same SCHED_FIFO low prio as
+rcu_torture_boost() and therefore timers can't preempt it and may
+starve.
+
+The issue can be triggered in practice on v5.17.1-rt17 using:
+
+ ./kvm.sh --allcpus --configs TREE04 --duration 10m --kconfig "CONFIG_EXPERT=y CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y"
+
+Fix this with statically boosting timersd just like is done with
+ksoftirqd in commit
+ ea6d962e80b61 ("rcutorture: Judge RCU priority boosting on grace periods, not callbacks")
