[PATCH 12/30] rcu: limit PREEMPT_RCU to full preemption under PREEMPT_AUTO
From: Ankur Arora
Date: Tue Feb 13 2024 - 01:00:31 EST
Under PREEMPT_AUTO, CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled, and much like
PREEMPT_DYNAMIC, PREEMPT_AUTO also allows for dynamic switching
of preemption models.
The RCU model, however, is fixed at compile time.
Now, RCU typically selects PREEMPT_RCU if CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled.
Given the trade-offs between PREEMPT_RCU=y and PREEMPT_RCU=n, some
configurations might prefer the stronger forward-progress guarantees
of PREEMPT_RCU=n.
Accordingly, select PREEMPT_RCU=y only if the user selects
CONFIG_PREEMPT at compile time.
