[PATCH tip/core/rcu 11/14] rcu: Don't track sysidle state if no nohz_full= CPUs

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Thu Aug 28 2014 - 14:40:31 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If there are no nohz_full= CPUs, then there is currently no reason to
track sysidle state. This commit therefore short-circuits this state
tracking if !tick_nohz_full_enabled().

Note that these checks will need to be revisited if nohz_full= state
can ever be changed at runtime.
