From a9352f72d6a9e8fe4840b9f0d97af8f5a6c52c79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 7 May 2020 16:34:38 -0700 Subject: rcu: Priority-boost-related sleeps to idle priority This commit converts the long-standing schedule_timeout_interruptible() call used by RCU's priority-boosting kthreads to schedule_timeout_idle(). This conversion avoids polluting the load-average with RCU-related sleeping. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
