The rcuscale.holdoff module parameter can be used to delay the start of rcu_scale_writer() kthread. However, the hung-task timeout will trigger when the timeout specified by rcuscale.holdoff is greater than hung_task_timeout_secs: runqemu kvm nographic slirp qemuparams="-smp 4 -m 2048M" bootparams="rcuscale.shutdown=0 rcuscale.holdoff=300" [ 247.071753] INFO: task rcu_scale_write:59 blocked for more than 122 seconds.

Both the CONFIG_TASKS_RCU and CONFIG_TASKS_RUDE_RCU options
are broken when RCU_TINY is enabled as well, as some functions
are missing a declaration.

Also, building with CONFIG_TASKS_RUDE_RCU but not CONFIG_TASKS_RCU is
broken because of some missing stub functions:
kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c:322:27: error: 'tasks_scale_read_lock' undeclared here (not in a function); did you mean 'srcu_scale_read_lock'?
322 | .readlock = tasks_scale_read_lock,

323 | .readunlock = tasks_scale_read_unlock,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| srcu_scale_read_unlock
Move the declarations outside of the RCU_TINY #ifdef and duplicate the
shared stub functions to address all of the above.

Add a "tasks-rude" option to the rcuscale.scale_type module parameter. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
This commit causes RCU Tasks Trace to output the CPU time consumed by its grace-period kthread. The CPU time is whatever is in the designated task's current->stime field, and thus is controlled by whatever CPU-time accounting scheme is in effect. This output appears in microseconds as follows on the console: rcu_scale: Grace-period kthread CPU time: 42367.037 [ paulmck: Apply Willy Tarreau feedback. ] Signed-off-by: Paul E.

By default, rcuscale collects only 100 points of data per writer, but arranging for all kthreads to be actively collecting (if not recording) data during the time that any kthread might be recording. This works well, but does not allow much time to bring external performance tools to bear. This commit therefore adds a minruntime module parameter that specifies a minimum data-collection interval in seconds. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

Some workloads do isolated RCU work, and this can affect operation latencies. This commit therefore adds a writer_holdoff_jiffies module parameter that causes writers to block for the specified number of jiffies between each pair of consecutive write-side operations.
