[PATCH rcu 0/2] Expedited grace-period updates for v5.19

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Apr 18 2022 - 20:20:17 EST


Hello!

This series contains updates to RCU expedited grace periods, most
notably providing milliseconds-scale soft real-time response from
synchronize_rcu_expedited(). This is also the first time in almost
30 years of RCU that someone other than me has pushed for a reduction
in the RCU CPU stall-warning timeout, in this case by more than three
orders of magnitude from 21 seconds to 20 milliseconds. This tighter
timeout applies only to expedited grace periods.

1. Introduce CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT, courtesy of Uladzislau
Rezki.

2. Move expedited grace period (GP) work to RT kthread_worker,

Thanx, Paul
