From 5057f55e543b7859cfd26bc281291795eac93f8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2014 11:20:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Bind RCU grace-period kthreads if NO_HZ_FULL Currently, RCU binds the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU only if CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y. This means that these kthreads must be bound manually when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n and CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y: Otherwise, these kthreads will induce OS jitter on random CPUs. Given that we are trying to reduce the amount of manual tweaking required to make CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y work nicely, this commit makes this binding happen when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, even in cases where CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n.
