Ed, Brian or Eric, Can you please take a look at this wiki page, and correct mistakes or add any material you think would be valuable. https://elinux.org/RCU_expedited_mode If you have a specific example of a boot time reduction from using this technique, can you add it to the case study listed at the bottom of the page. I copied some material from your devconf.us presentation. If you don't have elinux wiki accounts, you can just reply to this email with suggestions, and I'll change or add the material myself. One specific question I have is whether this technique only applies to an RT kernel or not. IMHO we can collect information on various techniques on the wiki (including data about their savings on different systems and in different scenarios), and then migrate the material to an upstream kernel tuning guide when we've establish the general utility of the material. As an aside question - if it would be easier to just review the material on-list, let me know and I'll send the raw page (in mediawiki markup) to the list for email-style review. Thanks -- Tim
