+                       Set the number of locking write-acquisition kthreads.

+                       Set time (s) after boot for CPU-hotplug testing.

+       locktorture.onoff_interval= [KNL]
+                       Set time (s) between CPU-hotplug operations, or

+
+       locktorture.shuffle_interval= [KNL]
+                       Set task-shuffle interval (jiffies).  Shuffling

+                       Set time (s) after boot system shutdown.  This

+       locktorture.stutter= [KNL]
+                       Time (s) to stutter testing, for example,

+                       five seconds, wait for five seconds, and so on.

+                       Start locktorture running at boot time.
