From 21871d7eff2c96ae67e18e00adf59d56940e2fcc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Clark Williams Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2014 21:21:09 -0500 Subject: rcu: Unify boost and kthread priorities Rename CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_PRIO to CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO and use this value for both the per-CPU kthreads (rcuc/N) and the rcu boosting threads (rcub/n). Also, create the module_parameter rcutree.kthread_prio to be used on the kernel command line at boot to set a new value (rcutree.kthread_prio=N).
