Paul E. McKenney a94844b22a rcu: Optionally run grace-period kthreads at real-time priority ... Recent testing has shown that under heavy load, running RCU's grace-period kthreads at real-time priority can improve performance (according to 0day test robot) and reduce the incidence of RCU CPU stall warnings. However, most systems do just fine with the default non-realtime priorities for these kthreads, and it does not make sense to expose the entire user base to any risk stemming from this change, given that this change is of use only to a few users running extremely heavy workloads. Therefore, this commit allows users to specify realtime priorities for the grace-period kthreads, but leaves them running SCHED_OTHER by default. The realtime priority may be specified at build time via the RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO Kconfig parameter, or at boot time via the rcutree.kthread_prio parameter. Either way, 0 says to continue the default SCHED_OTHER behavior and values from 1-99 specify that priority of SCHED_FIFO behavior. Note that a value of 0 is not permitted when the RCU_BOOST Kconfig parameter is specified. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>		2015-01-15 23:25:04 -08:00
