[PATCH 06/32] nohz/cpuset: Dont turn off the tick if rcu needs it

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Mon Oct 29 2012 - 16:46:24 EST


From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@xxxxxxxxx>

If RCU is waiting for the current CPU to complete a grace
period, don't turn off the tick. Unlike dynctik-idle, we
are not necessarily going to enter into rcu extended quiescent
state, so we may need to keep the tick to note current CPU's
quiescent states.

[added build fix from Zen Lin]
