[PATCH tip/core/rcu 09/26] rcu: No-CBs-related sleeps to idle priority

From: paulmck
Date: Mon Jun 22 2020 - 20:22:04 EST


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

This commit converts the schedule_timeout_interruptible() call used by
RCU's no-CBs grace-period kthreads to schedule_timeout_idle(). This
conversion avoids polluting the load-average with RCU-related sleeping.
