Subject: [PATCH rcu 04/10] rcu: Create per-cpu rcuc kthreads only when rcutree.use_softirq=0
Date: Fri,  4 Feb 2022 15:24:00 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220204232406.814-4-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220204232355.GA728@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1>

From: Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@intel.com>

The per-CPU "rcuc" kthreads are used only by kernels booted with
rcutree.use_softirq=0, but they are nevertheless unconditionally created
by kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y.  This results in "rcuc"
kthreads being created that are never actually used.  This commit
therefore refrains from creating these kthreads unless the kernel
is actually booted with rcutree.use_softirq=0.
