[PATCH tip/core/rcu 06/16] rcu: Let the world know when RCU adjusts its geometry

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Fri Nov 15 2013 - 19:25:47 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some RCU bugs have been specific to the layout of the rcu_node tree,
but RCU will silently adjust the tree at boot time if appropriate.
This obscures valuable debugging information, so print a message when
this happens.
