Therefore, this commit allows the durations to be controlled from sysfs. There are two sysfs parameters, one named "jiffies_till_first_fqs" that specifies the delay in jiffies from the end of grace-period initialization until the first attempt to force quiescent states, and the other named "jiffies_till_next_fqs" that specifies the delay (again in jiffies) between subsequent attempts to force quiescent states. They both default to three jiffies, which is compatible with the old hard-coded behavior. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E.
