McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Mon, 29 Jun 2020 11:58:49 -07:00 rcu: Grace-period-kthread related sleeps to idle priority This commit converts the long-standing schedule_timeout_interruptible() and schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() calls used by RCU's grace-period kthread to schedule_timeout_idle(). This conversion avoids polluting the load-average with RCU-related sleeping. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
