893 | This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making certain | ||
894 | RCU sections preemptible. Normally RCU code is non-preemptible, if | ||
895 | this option is selected then read-only RCU sections become | ||
896 | preemptible. This helps latency, but may expose bugs due to | ||
897 | now-naive assumptions about each RCU read-side critical section | ||
