[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 4/4] rcu-tasks: Shorten per-grace-period sleep for RCU Tasks Trace

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

 



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

The various RCU tasks flavors currently wait 100 milliseconds between each
grace period in order to prevent CPU-bound loops and to favor efficiency
over latency.  However, RCU Tasks Trace needs to have a grace-period
latency of roughly 25 milliseconds, which is completely infeasible given
the 100-millisecond per-grace-period sleep.  This commit therefore reduces
this sleep duration to 5 milliseconds (or one jiffy, whichever is longer)
in kernels built with CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y.
