Subject: [PATCH v7 tip/core/rcu 09/17] rcu: Improve RCU-tasks energy efficiency
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
The current RCU-tasks implementation uses strict polling to detect
callback arrivals. This works quite well, but is not so good for
energy efficiency. This commit therefore replaces the strict polling
with a wait queue.
