From 661a85dc0d2ec0404e3b80909e413a9d5e42a239 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2012 05:57:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Add random PROVE_RCU_DELAY to grace-period initialization Preemption greatly raised the probability of certain types of race conditions, so this commit adds an anti-heisenbug to greatly increase the collision cross section, also known as the probability of occurrence.
