From eb75767be0e514f97bf1b5cec763696cfc7f7e2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2013 17:10:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] nohz_full: Force RCU's grace-period kthreads onto timekeeping CPU Because RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism is used to drive the full-system-idle state machine, and because this mechanism is executed by RCU's grace-period kthreads, this commit forces these kthreads to run on the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu). To do otherwise would mean that the RCU grace-period kthreads would force the system into non-idle state every time they drove the state machine, which would be just a bit on the futile side.
