Subject: rcu: Rationalize kthread spawning
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9386c0b75dda05f535a10ea1abf1817fe292c81c;p=linux-beck.git

rcu: Rationalize kthread spawning

Currently, RCU spawns kthreads from several different early_initcall()
functions.  Although this has served RCU well for quite some time,
as more kthreads are added a more deterministic approach is required.
This commit therefore causes all of RCU's early-boot kthreads to be
spawned from a single early_initcall() function.
