From 2232c2d8e0a6a31061dec311f3d1cf7624bc14f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 18:46:50 +0100 Subject: rcu: add support for dynamic ticks and preempt rcu The PREEMPT-RCU can get stuck if a CPU goes idle and NO_HZ is set. The idle CPU will not progress the RCU through its grace period and a synchronize_rcu my get stuck. Without this patch I have a box that will not boot when PREEMPT_RCU and NO_HZ are set. That same box boots fine with this patch. This patch comes from the -rt kernel where it has been tested for several months. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Paul E.
