Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 04/23] rcu: Move RCU grace-period cleanup into kthread
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
As a first step towards allowing grace-period cleanup to be preemptible,
this commit moves the RCU grace-period cleanup into the same kthread
that is now used to initialize grace periods. This is needed to keep
scheduling latency down to a dull roar.
