The intent of the CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD Konfig option is to cause normal grace periods to complete quickly in order to better catch errors resulting from improperly leaking pointers from RCU read-side critical sections. However, kernels built with this option enabled still wait for some hundreds of milliseconds before boosting RCU readers that have been preempted within their current critical section. The value of this delay is set by the CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_DELAY Kconfig option, which defaults to 500 milliseconds. This commit therefore causes kernels build with strict grace periods to ignore CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_DELAY. This causes rcu_initiate_boost() to start boosting immediately after all CPUs on a given leaf rcu_node structure have passed through their quiescent states.

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.
