Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu] Make SRCU be once again optional
Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2017 14:15:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170428211546.GA23590@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Hello, Nicolas!

Saw the TTY write up LWN and figured I should send this your way.
It should be worth about 2K compared to current -next, which gave
up the 2K compared to v4.10.  So really getting things back to where
they were.

My current plan is to push this into v4.13.

							Thanx, Paul

commit e01ef0529ed548c1b30206058c2b5eecbbc07998

    srcu: Make SRCU be once again optional
    
    Commit d160a727c40e ("srcu: Make SRCU be built by default") in response
    to build errors, which were caused by code that included srcu.h
    despite !SRCU.  However, srcutiny.o is almost 2K of code, which is not
    insignificant for those attempting to run the Linux kernel on IoT devices.
    This commit therefore makes SRCU be once again optional, and adjusts
    srcu.h to allow error-free inclusion in !SRCU kernel builds.
