From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> 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.
