Subject: rcu: further lower priority in rcu_yield()
X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~10401^2~48
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=baa1ae0c9f1c618bc60706efa75fef3508bcee58;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git

rcu: further lower priority in rcu_yield()

Although rcu_yield() dropped from real-time to normal priority, there
is always the possibility that the competing tasks have been niced.
So nice to 19 in rcu_yield() to help ensure that other tasks have a
better chance of running.
