From: Alison Chaiken <achaiken@xxxxxxxxxxx> The priority of RCU grace period threads is set to kthread_prio when they are launched from rcu_spawn_gp_kthread(). The same is not true of rcu_spawn_one_nocb_kthread(). Accordingly, add priority elevation to rcu_spawn_one_nocb_kthread(). Signed-off-by: Alison Chaiken <achaiken@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
