[RFC PATCH 1/7] rcu: correct CONFIG_EXT_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT descriptions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Make the descriptions of CONFIG_EXT_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT
match the code:

- there is no longer a default of 20 ms for Android since
commit 1045a06724f3 ("remove CONFIG_ANDROID"),

- the code includes a maximum of 21 seconds, evident when
specifying 0 which means to use the CONFIG_RCU_STALL_TIMEOUT
value (whose default is 60 seconds).

Example .config:
  CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT=60
  CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT=0

leads to:
  /sys/module/rcupdate/parameters/rcu_cpu_stall_timeout:60
  /sys/module/rcupdate/parameters/rcu_exp_cpu_stall_timeout:21000

Fixes: 1045a06724f3 ("remove CONFIG_ANDROID")
