Cover letter [PATCH v2 tip/core/rcu 0/11] Expedited-grace-period changes for 4.5
Hello!
This series contains follow-on cleanup changes to RCU's expedited grace-period functionality. The patches in this series are as follows:
1. Short-circuit synchronize_sched_expedited() if there is only one CPU.
2. Update comment to clarify the role of ->expmaskinitnext.
3. Separate concerns by moving smp_mb() from rcu_seq_snap() to
rcu_exp_gp_seq_snap().
4. Safe a few lines of code by inverting the sense of
sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus() "if" statement.
5. Reduce expedited GP memory contention via per-CPU variables.
6. Get rid of (some) empty stall-warning messages by resolving
stall-warning ties.
7. Add more diagnostics to expedited stall warning messages.
8. Add rcu_normal kernel parameter to suppress expediting for
the benefit of aggressive real-time systems.
9-10. Allow expedited grace periods to be disabled just before init
is spawned, allowing them to speed up boot without interfering with run-time real-time workloads.
11. Remove TINY_RCU bloat from pointless (to TINY_RCU) boot parameters.
Changes since v1:
o Add patch 11 removing TINY_RCU bloat.
o Get cover letter and patches correctly associated. :-/
Thanx, Paul
