From bbe3eae8bb039b5ffd64a6e3d1a0deaa1f3cbae9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2009 09:15:08 -0700 Subject: rcu: Kconfig help needs to say that TREE_PREEMPT_RCU scales down To quote Valdis: This leaves somebody who has a laptop wondering which choice is best for a system with only one or two cores that has CONFIG_PREEMPT defined. One choice says it scales down nicely, the other explicitly has a 'depends on PREEMPT' attached to it... So add "scales down nicely" to TREE_PREEMPT_RCU to match that of TREE_RCU.
