From 3705b88db0d7cc4a097c32d9e554054103d3f807 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Antti P Miettinen Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2012 09:59:15 +0300 Subject: rcu: Add a module parameter to force use of expedited RCU primitives There have been some embedded applications that would benefit from use of expedited grace-period primitives. In some ways, this is similar to synchronize_net() doing either a normal or an expedited grace period depending on lock state, but with control outside of the kernel. This commit therefore adds rcu_expedited boot and sysfs parameters that cause the kernel to substitute expedited primitives for the normal grace-period primitives.
