[PATCH rcu/urgent] Banishing kthreads

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Thu Jun 16 2011 - 20:00:32 EST


This patchset banishes RCU kthreads from non-RCU_BOOST kernel threads.
The two patches are as follows:

1. Minimal patch that #ifdefs out the kthread code.

2. Code-movement patch that puts the code #ifdefed out above
under existing #ifdefs in kernel/rcutree_plugin.h.

For a testing-only version of this patchset from git, please see the
following subject-to-rebase branch:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-2.6-rcu.git rcu/urgent

Thanx, Paul
