Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 20/27] rcu: Check the range of jiffies_till_{first,next}_fqs when setting them
Date:   Mon, 25 Jun 2018 17:35:06 -0700

Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

From: Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@lge.com>

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.
