Subject: [PATCH v2] rcu: Only boost rcu reader tasks with lower priority than boost kthreads
Date:   Wed,  9 Mar 2022 16:15:23 +0800
Message-Id: <20220309081523.348450-1-qiang1.zhang@intel.com>

Precedence: bulk

When RCU_BOOST is enabled, the boost kthreads will boosting readers
who are blocking a given grace period, if the current reader tasks
have a higher priority than boost kthreads(the boost kthreads priority
not always 1, if the kthread_prio is set), boosting is useless, skip
current task and select next task to boosting, reduce the time for a
given grace period.

 v1->v2:
 rename label 'end' to 'skip_boost'.
 add 'boost_exp_tasks' pointer to point 'rnp->exp_tasks'
 do the similar thing as normal grace period.
