Subject: [PATCH 05/16] rcu: Add noreturn attribute to boost kthread
Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2014 01:09:42 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1406092194-13004-6-git-send-email-bobby.prani@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1406092194-13004-1-git-send-email-bobby.prani@gmail.com>
rcu_boost_kthread() runs in an infinite loop and does not return. This commit
adds the __noreturn attribute to the function.
