Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 04/14] rcu: Provide compile-time control for no-CBs CPUs
Date: Sat,  5 Jan 2013 09:48:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1357408144-15830-4-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1357408144-15830-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@linaro.org>

Currently, the only way to specify no-CBs CPUs is via the rcu_nocbs
kernel command-line parameter.  This is inconvenient in some cases,
particularly for randconfig testing, so this commit adds a new
RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT kernel configuration parameter.  Setting this
new parameter to zero (the default) retains the old behavior, setting
it to one offloads callback processing from CPU 0 (along with any
other CPUs specified by the rcu_nocbs boot-time parameter), and setting
it to two offloads callback processing from all CPUs.
