[GIT PULL rcu/urgent] Banishing kthreads

June 17th, 2011 - 11:00 am ET by Paul E. McKenney | Report spam
Hello, Ingo,

This pull request banishes RCU kthreads in the RCU_BOOST=n case,
in response to popular demand. There are two commits in this
series:

1. Minimal patch that #ifdefs out the kthread code.

2. Code-movement patch that puts the code #ifdefed out above
under existing #ifdefs in kernel/rcutree_plugin.h.

These changes are available in the git repository at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/....6-rcu.git rcu/urgent

Thanx, Paul
