Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/6] documentation: Update rcutree.kthread_prio for grace-period kthread use
Date: Tue,  3 Mar 2015 08:37:35 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1425400660-6380-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150303163714.GA5427@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Now that the rcutree.kthread_prio kernel boot parameter also controls
the priority of the grace-period kthreads, update the documentation to
reflect this change.
