Hi Paul,

Does 4a81e8328d37 ("rcu: Reduce overhead of cond_resched() checks for
RCU") affect a backport to 3.10?

I noticed that rcu_note_context_switch added a call to
rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle in that change, which is only present in
v3.16+.

Would rcu_note_context_switch be effective by itself on a 3.10 kernel?

Thanks,

-- Joe
