The value of DEFAULT_RCU_BLIMIT is normally set to 10, the idea being to avoid needless response-time degradation due to RCU callback invocation. However, when CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y it is better to avoid throttling callback execution in order to better detect pointer leaks from RCU read-side critical sections. This commit therefore sets the value of DEFAULT_RCU_BLIMIT to 1000 in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y. Reported-by Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
