From 3e42ec1aa716f10c68294b8492ae3ea684528699 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:56:00 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Allow expedited grace periods to be disabled at init Expedited grace periods can speed up boot, but are undesirable in aggressive real-time systems. This commit therefore introduces a kernel parameter rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot that disables expedited grace periods just before init is spawned. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
