From e2fd9d35847d1936398d44c4df68dceb3d7f64e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sat, 30 Jan 2016 17:23:19 -0800 Subject: rcu: Remove expedited GP funnel-lock bypass Commit #cdacbe1f91264 ("rcu: Add fastpath bypassing funnel locking") turns out to be a pessimization at high load because it forces a tree full of tasks to wait for an expedited grace period that they probably do not need. This commit therefore removes this optimization. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
