From 7059b36636beab57c3c43c62104483e5449bee95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2018 19:08:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: idle: Avoid retaining the tick when it has been stopped If the tick has been stopped already, but the governor has not asked to stop it (which it can do sometimes), the idle loop should invoke tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick(), to let tick_nohz_stop_tick() take care of this case properly.
