Subject: sched: Move mmdrop to RCU on RT
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8d491de6edc27138806cae6e8eca455beb325b62;p=linux.git

sched: Move mmdrop to RCU on RT

mmdrop() is invoked from finish_task_switch() by the incoming task to drop
the mm which was handed over by the previous task. mmdrop() can be quite
expensive which prevents an incoming real-time task from getting useful
work done.

Provide mmdrop_sched() which maps to mmdrop() on !RT kernels. On RT kernels
it delagates the eventually required invocation of __mmdrop() to RCU.
