From 965a002b4f1a458c5dcb334ec29f48a0046faa25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2011 09:55:39 -0700 Subject: rcu: Make TINY_RCU also use softirq for RCU_BOOST=n This patch #ifdefs TINY_RCU kthreads out of the kernel unless RCU_BOOST=y, thus eliminating context-switch overhead if RCU priority boosting has not been configured.
