[PATCH tip/core/rcu 08/14] rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs
From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Thu Aug 28 2014 - 14:38:50 EST
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
RCU currently uses for_each_possible_cpu() to spawn rcuo kthreads,
which can result in more rcuo kthreads than one would expect, for
example, derRichard reported 64 CPUs worth of rcuo kthreads on an
8-CPU image. This commit therefore creates rcuo kthreads only for
those CPUs that actually come online.
This was reported by derRichard on the OFTC IRC network.
