This is handled by a + * state machine implemented by rcu_prepare_for_idle() below. + * + * The following three proprocessor symbols control this state machine: + * + * RCU_IDLE_FLUSHES gives the maximum number of times that we will attempt + * to satisfy RCU. Beyond this point, it is better to incur a periodic + * scheduling-clock interrupt than to loop through the state machine + * at full power. + * RCU_IDLE_OPT_FLUSHES gives the number of RCU_IDLE_FLUSHES that are + * optional if RCU does not need anything immediately from this + * CPU, even if this CPU still has RCU callbacks queued. The first + * times through the state machine are mandatory: we need to give + * the state machine a chance to communicate a quiescent state + * to the RCU core. + * RCU_IDLE_GP_DELAY gives the number of jiffies that a CPU is permitted + * to sleep in dyntick-idle mode with RCU callbacks pending. This + * is sized to be roughly one RCU grace period. Those energy-efficiency + * benchmarkers who might otherwise be tempted to set this to a large + * number, be warned: Setting RCU_IDLE_GP_DELAY too high can hang your + * system. And if you are -that- concerned about energy efficiency, + * just power the system down and be done with it! + * + * The values below work well in practice.
