Add a new command line option (e.g. random=1) and sysfs attribute that causes subsequent command completion times to be between the current command delay setting and 0. A uniformly distributed 32 bit, kernel provided integer is used for this purpose. Since the existing 'delay' whose units are jiffies (typically milliseconds) and 'ndelay' (units: nanoseconds) options (and sysfs attributes) span a range greater than 32 bits, some scaling is required. The purpose of this patch is to widen the range of testing cases that are visited in long running tests. Put simply: rarely struct race conditions are more likely to be found when this facility is used. The default is the previous case in which all command completions were roughly equal to (if not, slightly longer) than the value given by the 'delay' or 'ndelay' settings (or their defaults). This option's default is equivalent to setting 'random=0' .

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
