From 73738a95d00467812664b7f86ba3052f5faf96d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Wed, 27 May 2015 19:22:08 +0200 Subject: nohz: Restart nohz full tick from irq exit Restart the tick when necessary from the irq exit path. It makes nohz full more flexible, simplify the related IPIs and doesn't bring significant overhead on irq exit. In a longer term view, it will allow us to piggyback the nohz kick on the scheduler IPI in the future instead of sending a dedicated IPI that often doubles the scheduler IPI on task wakeup. This will require more changes though including careful review of resched_curr() callers to include nohz full needs.
