RCU priority boosting currently is not applied until the grace period is at least 250 milliseconds old (or the number of milliseconds specified by the CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_DELAY Kconfig option). Although this has worked well, it can result in OOM under conditions of RCU callback flooding. One can argue that the real-time systems using RCU priority boosting should carefully avoid RCU callback flooding, but one can just as well argue that an OOM is a rather obnoxious error message. This commit therefore disables the RCU priority boosting delay when there are excessive numbers of callbacks queued. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
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.
