config RCU_BOOST
bool "Enable RCU priority boosting"
depends on RT_MUTEXES && TINY_PREEMPT_RCU
default n
help
This option boosts the priority of preempted RCU readers that
block the current preemptible RCU grace period for too long.
This option also prevents heavy loads from blocking RCU
callback invocation for all flavors of RCU.
Say Y here if you are working with real-time apps or heavy loads
Say N here if you are unsure.
config RCU_BOOST_PRIO
int "Real-time priority to boost RCU readers to"
range 1 99
depends on RCU_BOOST
default 1
help
This option specifies the real-time priority to which preempted
RCU readers are to be boosted. If you are working with CPU-bound
real-time applications, you should specify a priority higher then
the highest-priority CPU-bound application.
Specify the real-time priority, or take the default if unsure.
config RCU_BOOST_DELAY
int "Milliseconds to delay boosting after RCU grace-period start"
range 0 3000
depends on RCU_BOOST
default 500
help
This option specifies the time to wait after the beginning of
a given grace period before priority-boosting preempted RCU
readers blocking that grace period. Note that any RCU reader
blocking an expedited RCU grace period is boosted immediately.
Accept the default if unsure.
config SRCU_SYNCHRONIZE_DELAY
int "Microseconds to delay before waiting for readers"
range 0 20
default 10
help
This option controls how long SRCU delays before entering its
loop waiting on SRCU readers. The purpose of this loop is
to avoid the unconditional context-switch penalty that would
otherwise be incurred if there was an active SRCU reader,
in a manner similar to adaptive locking schemes. This should
be set to be a bit longer than the common-case SRCU read-side
critical-section overhead.
Accept the default if unsure.
