Subject: rcu: Ignore userspace extended quiescent state by default
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e1a689f10a27a4fe1ab9b4c6db04fa7232746a5;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

rcu: Ignore userspace extended quiescent state by default

By default we don't want to enter into RCU extended quiescent
state while in userspace because doing this produces some overhead
(eg: use of syscall slowpath). Set it off by default and ready to
run when some feature like adaptive tickless need it.
