From 84a8f446ffd70c2799a96268aaa4d47c22a83ff0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2014 07:24:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Defer rcu_tasks_kthread() creation till first call_rcu_tasks() It is expected that many sites will have CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=y, but will never actually invoke call_rcu_tasks(). For such sites, creating rcu_tasks_kthread() at boot is wasteful. This commit therefore defers creation of this kthread until the time of the first call_rcu_tasks(). This of course means that the first call_rcu_tasks() must be invoked from process context after the scheduler is fully operational. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney --- Reading git-format-patch failed
