From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul...@kernel.org> The RCU Tasks Trace grace periods are too slow, as in 40x slower than those of RCU Tasks. This is due to my having assumed a one-second grace period was OK, and thus not having optimized any further. This commit provides the first step in this optimization process, namely by allowing the task_list scan backoff interval to be specified on a per-flavor basis, and then speeding up the scans for RCU Tasks Trace. However, kernels built with CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y continue to use the old slower backoff, consistent with that Kconfig option's goal of reducing IPIs.
