From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2013 13:15:35 +0000 (+0200) Subject: sched: New helper to prevent from stopping the tick in full dynticks X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ce831b38ca4920739a7a5b0c73b921da41f03718;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git sched: New helper to prevent from stopping the tick in full dynticks Provide a new helper to be called from the full dynticks engine before stopping the tick in order to make sure we don't stop it when there is more than one task running on the CPU. This way we make sure that the tick stays alive to maintain fairness.
