From b5fe223a4bd0217a657ff084e48752c367a8a55f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2017 07:52:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] srcu: Adjust default auto-expediting holdoff The default value for the kernel boot parameter srcutree.exp_holdoff is 50 microseconds, which is too long for good Tree SRCU performance (compared to Classic SRCU) on the workloads tested by Mike Galbraith. This commit therefore sets the default value to 25 microseconds, which shows excellent results in Mike's testing. Reported-by: Mike Galbraith Signed-off-by: Paul E.
