On small systems, in the absence of readers, expedited SRCU grace periods can complete in less than a microsecond. This means that an eight-CPU system can have all CPUs doing synchronize_srcu() in a tight loop and almost always expedite. This might actually be desirable in some situations, but in general it is a good way to needlessly burn CPU cycles. And in those situations where it is desirable, your friend is the function synchronize_srcu_expedited(). For other situations, this commit adds a kernel parameter that specifies a holdoff between completing the last SRCU grace period and auto-expediting the next. If the next grace period starts before the holdoff expires, auto-expediting is disabled. The holdoff is 50 microseconds by default, and can be tuned to the desired number of nanoseconds. A value of zero disables auto-expediting. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
