From a04198887658e1d8ae25f5420035c057cb170e67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Hunter Date: Fri, 1 May 2009 13:10:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] timers: allow deferrable timers for intervals tv2-tv5 to be deferred In the current kernel implementation only kernel timers for time interval tv1 are being deferred. This patch allows any timer that is configured as deferrable to be defer regardless of time interval. This patch was previously discussed in http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123196343531966&w=2 and was acked by Venki Pallipadi, the author of the original deferrable timer patch.
