622 This option specifies the real-time priority to which long-term
623 preempted RCU readers are to be boosted. If you are working
624 with a real-time application that has one or more CPU-bound
625 threads running at a real-time priority level, you should set
626 RCU_BOOST_PRIO to a priority higher then the highest-priority
627 real-time CPU-bound thread. The default RCU_BOOST_PRIO value
628 of 1 is appropriate in the common case, which is real-time
629 applications that do not have any CPU-bound threads.
630
631 Some real-time applications might not have a single real-time
632 thread that saturates a given CPU, but instead might have
633 multiple real-time threads that, taken together, fully utilize
634 that CPU. In this case, you should set RCU_BOOST_PRIO to
635 a priority higher than the lowest-priority thread that is
636 conspiring to prevent the CPU from running any non-real-time
637 tasks. For example, if one thread at priority 10 and another
638 thread at priority 5 are between themselves fully consuming
639 the CPU time on a given CPU, then RCU_BOOST_PRIO should be
640 set to priority 6 or higher.
