Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Check the range of jiffies_till_{first,next}_fqs when setting them
Date:   Fri,  1 Jun 2018 11:03:09 +0900
Message-Id: <1527818589-13476-1-git-send-email-byungchul.park@lge.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Currently, the range of jiffies_till_{first,next}_fqs are checked and
adjusted on and on in the loop of rcu_gp_kthread on runtime.

However, it's enough to check them only when setting them, not every
time in the loop. So make them handled on a setting time via sysfs.
