I guess you mean "check_preempt_tick" here, yes?

in entity_tick(...):
        if (cfs_rq->nr_running > 1 || !sched_feat(WAKEUP_PREEMPT))
                check_preempt_tick(cfs_rq, curr);

Note that, above "if" statement says "if WAKEUP_PREEMPT feature is
*disabled* then calls check_preempt_tick".

Shouldn't it be "if WAKEUP_PREEMPT feature is *enabled* then ...."?

Understood this.

But what I mean is both "entity_tick" and "check_preempt_tick" check
WAKEUP_PREEMPT feature. That's duplicated.

Only need to check it in "check_preempt_tick".
