rcu: Make RCU_BOOST default on CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
On PREEMPT_RT kernels, RCU callbacks are deferred to the `rcuc' kthread. This can stall RCU grace periods due to lengthy preemption not only of RCU readers but also of 'rcuc' kthreads, either of which prevent grace periods from completing, which can in turn result in OOM. Because PREEMPT_RT kernels have more kthreads that can block grace periods, it is more important for such kernels to enable RCU_BOOST. This commit therefore makes RCU_BOOST the default on PREEMPT_RT. RCU_BOOST can still be manually disabled if need be. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
