[PATCH v2 6/9] rcu: Limit rcu_capacity[] size to RCU_NUM_LVLS items

From: Alexander Gordeev
Date: Fri May 29 2015 - 05:55:56 EST


Number of items in rcu_capacity[] array is defined by macro
MAX_RCU_LVLS. However, that array is never accessed beyond
RCU_NUM_LVLS index. Therefore, we can limit the array to
RCU_NUM_LVLS items and eliminate MAX_RCU_LVLS. As result,
in most cases the memory is conserved.
