Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 5/5] kernel: drop PREEMPT_NONE compile time option
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2020 14:29:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201009122926.29962-6-mhocko@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201009122926.29962-1-mhocko@kernel.org>
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>
Now that preempt_mode command line parameter supports both preempt_none
and preempt_voluntary we do not necessarily need a config option for
this preemption mode and we can reduce the overall config space a bit.
