[PATCH v4 06/14] debug: Toggle lazy at runtime and change flush jiffies

From: Joel Fernandes (Google)
Date: Fri Aug 19 2022 - 16:49:36 EST


Enable/Disable this feature by writing 1 or 0 /proc/sys/vm/rcu_lazy.

Change value of /proc/sys/vm/rcu_lazy_jiffies to change max duration before
flush.

Do not merge, only for debug for reviewers.
