[PATCH 1/2] sched/nohz: add debugfs control over sched_tick_max_deferment

From: Kevin Hilman
Date: Tue Dec 17 2013 - 16:23:16 EST


Allow debugfs override of sched_tick_max_deferment in order to ease
finding/fixing the remaining issues with full nohz.

The value to be written is in jiffies, and -1 means the max deferment
is disabled (scheduler_tick_max_deferment() returns KTIME_MAX.)
