From 8d7dc9283f399e1fda4e48a1c453f689326d9396 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2015 19:33:59 -0700 Subject: rcu: Control grace-period delays directly from value In a misguided attempt to avoid an #ifdef, the use of the gp_init_delay module parameter was conditioned on the corresponding RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT Kconfig variable, using IS_ENABLED() at the point of use in the code. This meant that the compiler always saw the delay, which meant that RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY had to be unconditionally defined. This in turn caused "make oldconfig" to ask pointless questions about the value of RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY in cases where it was not even used. This commit avoids these pointless questions by defining gp_init_delay under #ifdef. In one branch, gp_init_delay is initialized to RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY and is also a module parameter (thus allowing boot-time modification), and in the other branch gp_init_delay is a const variable initialized by default to zero. This approach also simplifies the code at the delay point by eliminating the IS_DEFINED(). Because gp_init_delay is constant zero in the no-delay case intended for production use, the "gp_init_delay > 0" check causes the delay to become dead code, as desired in this case. In addition, this commit replaces magic constant "10" with the preprocessor variable PER_RCU_NODE_PERIOD, which controls the number of grace periods that are allowed to elapse at full speed before a delay is inserted.
