Hurm.. so I don't really like this (same for the other patches doing the
similar change).
Why not have a function called: wake_time_keeper_cpu(), and have that do
the right thing?
Also, afaict, all you want is that remote cpu to run
tick_nohz_full_check(), right?
So why are you (ab)using the scheduler_ipi for this at all? Why not have
something like:
static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct call_single_data, nohz_full_csd);
int init_nohz_full(void)
{
int cpu;
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
struct call_single_data *csd = &per_cpu(nohz_full_csd, cpu);
csd->flags = 0;
csd->func = &tick_nohz_full_check;
csd->info = NULL;
}
return 0;
}
void wake_time_keeper_cpu(void)
{
int cpu = pick_timekeeper_cpu();
struct single_call_data *csd = &per_cpu(nohz_full_csd, cpu);
__smp_call_function_single(cpu, csd, 0);
}
