Would kworker threads work for rcu? That would also avoid the shifting around of RCU threads for NOHZ configurations (which seems to have to be done manually right now). The kworker subsystem work that allows restriction to non NOHZ hardware threads would then also allow the shifting of the rcu threads which would simplify the whole endeavor. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
