Hello! This series provides a couple of patches that reduce the number of rcuo kthreads in cases where nr_cpu_ids is larger than the actual number of online CPUs. 1. Preparation patch that rationalizes RCU's creation of early-boot kthreads. 2. Instead of creation rcuo kthreads for each possible CPU, create them only for those CPUs that have come online at least once since boot. Thanx, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ b/kernel/rcu/tree.c | 8 ++- b/kernel/rcu/tree.h | 5 +- b/kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h | 105 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 3 files changed, 95 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
