From: Ankur Arora <ankur.a.ar...@oracle.com>
PREEMPT_LAZY can be enabled stand-alone or alongside PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
which allows for dynamic switching of preemption models.
The choice of PREEMPT_RCU or not, however, is fixed at compile time.
Given that PREEMPT_RCU makes some trade-offs to optimize for latency
as opposed to throughput, configurations with limited preemption
might prefer the stronger forward-progress guarantees of PREEMPT_RCU=n.
Accordingly, explicitly limit PREEMPT_RCU=y to the latency oriented
preemption models: PREEMPT, PREEMPT_RT, and the runtime configurable
model PREEMPT_DYNAMIC.
This means the throughput oriented models, PREEMPT_NONE,
PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, and PREEMPT_LAZY will run with PREEMPT_RCU=n.
