Kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y can experience significant lock contention due to RCU's resulting focus on ending grace periods as soon as possible. This is OK, but only if there are not very many CPUs. This commit therefore puts this Kconfig option off-limits to systems with more than four CPUs. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Enable RCU lockdep checking for list usages. By default it is

turned off since there are several list RCU users that still

need to be converted to pass a lockdep expression. To prevent

false-positive splats, we keep it default disabled but once all

users are converted, we can remove this config option.

Select this option to build an RCU variant that is strict about
|
|
grace periods, making them as short as it can. This limits
|
|
scalability, destroys real-time response, degrades battery
|
|
lifetime and kills performance. Don't try this on large
|
|
machines, as in systems with more than about 10 or 20 CPUs.
|
|
But in conjunction with tools like KASAN, it can be helpful
|
|
when looking for certain types of RCU usage bugs, for example,
|
|
too-short RCU read-side critical sections.
