This commit provides a rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay kernel boot parameter that specifies how old the RCU tasks trace grace period must be before the grace-period kthread starts sending IPIs. This delay allows more tasks to pass through rcu_tasks_qs() quiescent states, thus reducing (or even eliminating) the number of IPIs that must be sent. On a short rcutorture test setting this kernel boot parameter to HZ/2 resulted in zero IPIs for all 877 RCU-tasks trace grace periods that elapsed during that test. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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.
