Subject: test/common: reduce WebCache stress-test thread count
X-Git-Url: http://git-server-git.apps.pok.os.sepia.ceph.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7240994bf53deabdfaf137a74cf886693682f4e9;p=ceph.git

test/common: reduce WebCache stress-test thread count

WebCacheConcurrencyTest sized its thread pool as hardware_concurrency() * 100,
which is 3200 on the 32-vCPU CI hosts. Linux runs that in a few seconds, but
the Windows (mingw-llvm/libc++) build times out unittest_web_cache at the
1800s per-test limit on every PR.

BasicAddSame reuses one key, so after the first insert every add() is a
shared-lock hit: 3200 threads log hit=3200000 miss=1 and finish in ~4s.
BasicAddUnique inserts a distinct key each iteration, so every add() misses
and takes the exclusive lock. libc++'s std::shared_mutex wakes all waiting
writers on every unlock, so N contending writers cost O(N^2) wakeups. At
N=3200 that alone overruns the 1800s budget, which is where the failing run
hangs. StampedeSyncCallOnce and StampedeMutex are exclusive-lock bound the
same way.

The tests only need enough threads to race; 4x oversubscription is enough.
Cap the count via a shared helper.
