266 help
267 This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making certain
268 RCU sections preemptible. Normally RCU code is non-preemptible, if
269 this option is selected then read-only RCU sections become
270 preemptible. This helps latency, but may expose bugs due to
271 now-naive assumptions about each RCU read-side critical section
272 remaining on a given CPU through its execution.
