624 preempted RCU readers are to be boosted. If you are working
625 with a real-time application that has one or more CPU-bound
626 threads running at a real-time priority level, you should set
627 RCU_BOOST_PRIO to a priority higher then the highest-priority
628 real-time CPU-bound thread. The default RCU_BOOST_PRIO value
629 of 1 is appropriate in the common case, which is real-time
630 applications that do not have any CPU-bound threads.

632 Some real-time applications might not have a single real-time
633 thread that saturates a given CPU, but instead might have
634 multiple real-time threads that, taken together, fully utilize
635 that CPU. In this case, you should set RCU_BOOST_PRIO to
636 a priority higher than the lowest-priority thread that is
637 conspiring to prevent the CPU from running any non-real-time
638 tasks. For example, if one thread at priority 10 and another
639 thread at priority 5 are between themselves fully consuming
640 the CPU time on a given CPU, then RCU_BOOST_PRIO should be
