Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 03/12] rcu: Distinguish "rcuo" kthreads by RCU flavor
Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 16:29:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1359246603-6863-3-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1359246603-6863-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@linaro.org>

Currently, the per-no-CBs-CPU kthreads are named "rcuo" followed by
the CPU number, for example, "rcuo".  This is problematic given that
there are either two or three RCU flavors, each of which gets a per-CPU
kthread with exactly the same name.  This commit therefore introduces
a one-letter abbreviation for each RCU flavor, namely 'b' for RCU-bh,
'p' for RCU-preempt, and 's' for RCU-sched.  This abbreviation use used
to distinguish the "rcuo" kthreads, for example, for CPU 0 we would have
"rcuo0b", "rcuo0p", and "rcuo0s".
