[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 0/2] NOCB kthread economization patches

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Jul 14 2014 - 06:10:07 EST


Hello!

This series provides a couple of patches that reduce the number of rcuo
kthreads in cases where nr_cpu_ids is larger than the actual number of
online CPUs.

1. Preparation patch that rationalizes RCU's creation of early-boot
kthreads.

2. Instead of creation rcuo kthreads for each possible CPU, create
them only for those CPUs that have come online at least once
since boot.

Thanx, Paul
