[PATCH tip/core/rcu 08/12] rcu: Move SRCU grace period work to power efficient workqueue

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Feb 17 2014 - 16:39:23 EST


From: Shaibal Dutta <shaibal.dutta@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

For better use of CPU idle time, allow the scheduler to select the CPU
on which the SRCU grace period work would be scheduled. This improves
idle residency time and conserves power.

This functionality is enabled when CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is selected.
