From 1be0085b515e786e962b9f2d03616209eb6eb9a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2014 18:20:20 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Don't initiate RCU priority boosting on root rcu_node Because there is no longer any preempted tasks on the root rcu_node, and because there is no longer ever an rcub kthread for the root rcu_node, this commit drops the code in force_qs_rnp() that attempts to awaken the non-existent root rcub kthread. This is strictly a performance enhancement, removing a root rcu_node ->lock acquisition and release along with some tests in rcu_initiate_boost(), ending with the test that notes that there is no rcub kthread.
