From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2014 20:19:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 044/353] rcu: make RCU_BOOST default on RT Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=d59067f0eebc3f17a4aacc039c67a5adc75f7ced Since it is no longer invoked from the softirq people run into OOM more often if the priority of the RCU thread is too low. Making boosting default on RT should help in those case and it can be switched off if someone knows better.
