Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 03/12] rcu: Directly drive RCU_USER_QS from Kconfig
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2015 12:55:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1429646153-20677-3-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1429646153-20677-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

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

Currently, Kconfig will ask the user whether RCU_USER_QS should be set.
This is silly because Kconfig already has all the information that it
needs to set this parameter.  This commit therefore directly drives
the value of RCU_USER_QS via NO_HZ_FULL's "select" statement.
