From 06f60de19d3141f07d954c9275fe7ccca8e96b42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 08:15:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Short-circuit synchronize_sched_expedited() if only one CPU If there is only one CPU, then invoking synchronize_sched_expedited() is by definition a grace period. This commit checks for this condition and does a short-circuit return in that case. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
