From ccde8bd4014eb2f01102f7a64f0fad3df193b758 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2016 15:36:27 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] vmstat: make vmstat_update deferrable Commit 0eb77e988032 ("vmstat: make vmstat_updater deferrable again and shut down on idle") made vmstat_shepherd deferrable. vmstat_update itself is still useing standard timer which might interrupt idle task. This is possible because "mm, vmstat: make quiet_vmstat lighter" removed cancel_delayed_work from the quiet_vmstat. Change vmstat_work to use DEFERRABLE_WORK to prevent from pointless wakeups from the idle context.
