Subject: rcu: enable rcu_normal_after_boot by default for RT
Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2018 16:02:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181101230235.GA8757@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
> The forcing of an expedited grace period is an expensive and very
> RT-application unfriendly operation, as it forcibly preempts all running

> By default, as a policy decision, disable the expediting of grace
> periods (after boot) on configurations which enable PREEMPT_RT_FULL.

In case it matters:
Acked-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
Alternatively, any reason that I should not pull this into -rcu?
Thanx, Paul
