Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/9] rcu: Permit RCU_FAST_NO_HZ to be used by TREE_PREEMPT_RCU
Date
From: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org>

The new implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ is compatible with preemptible
RCU, so this commit removes the Kconfig restriction that previously
prohibited this.

This option causes RCU to attempt to accelerate grace periods
- in order to allow the final CPU to enter dynticks-idle state
- more quickly. On the other hand, this option increases the
- overhead of the dynticks-idle checking, particularly on systems
- with large numbers of CPUs.

Say Y if energy efficiency is critically important, particularly
if you have relatively few CPUs.
