Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu] Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ respect nohz= boot parameter
Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2012 15:37:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120705223731.GA27608@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

If the nohz= boot parameter disables nohz, then RCU_FAST_NO_HZ needs to
also disable itself.  This commit therefore checks for tick_nohz_enabled
being zero, disabling rcu_prepare_for_idle() if so.  This patch assumes
that tick_nohz_enabled can change at runtime: If this is not the case,
then a simpler approach suffices.
