From 24278d148316d2180be6df40e06db013d8b232b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2010 17:25:23 -0700 Subject: rcu: priority boosting for TINY_PREEMPT_RCU Add priority boosting, but only for TINY_PREEMPT_RCU. This is enabled by the default-off RCU_BOOST kernel parameter. The priority to which to boost preempted RCU readers is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_PRIO kernel parameter (defaulting to real-time priority 1) and the time to wait before boosting the readers blocking a given grace period is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_DELAY kernel parameter (defaulting to 500 milliseconds).
