From 4b4399b2450de38916718ba9947e6cdb69c99c55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zqiang Date: Wed, 29 Dec 2021 00:05:10 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Create per-cpu rcuc kthreads only when rcutree.use_softirq=0 The per-CPU "rcuc" kthreads are used only by kernels booted with rcutree.use_softirq=0, but they are nevertheless unconditionally created by kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y. This results in "rcuc" kthreads being created that are never actually used. This commit therefore refrains from creating these kthreads unless the kernel is actually booted with rcutree.use_softirq=0.
