+ help
+ This option controls how long SRCU delays before entering its
+ loop waiting on SRCU readers. The purpose of this loop is
+ to avoid the unconditional context-switch penalty that would
+ otherwise be incurred if there was an active SRCU reader,
+ in a manner similar to adaptive locking schemes. This should
+ be set to be a bit longer than the common-case SRCU read-side
+ critical-section overhead.
