It is perfectly fine to set the rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs boot parameter to zero, in fact, this can be useful on specialty systems that usually have at least one idle CPU and that need fast grace periods. This is because this setting causes the RCU grace-period kthread to scan for idle threads immediately after grace-period initialization, as opposed to waiting several jiffies to do so. It is also perfectly fine to set the rcutree.rcu_kick_kthreads kernel parameter, which gives the RCU grace-period kthread an extra wakeup if it doesn't make progress for a period of three times the setting of the rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs boot parameter. This is of course problematic when the value of this parameter is zero, as it can result in unnecessary wakeup IPIs along with unnecessary WARN_ONCE() invocations. This commit therefore defers kthread kicking for at least two jiffies, regardless of the setting of rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
