Re: [PATCH 01/32] nohz: Move nohz load balancer selection into idlelogic

From: Charles Wang
Date: Tue Oct 30 2012 - 04:32:14 EST


calc_load_exit_idle depends on updated jiffies, so you shouldn't move this before tick_do_update_jiffies64.

And why should we do nohz_balance_enter_idle in tick_nohz_idle_exit? It's nohz_balance_exit_idle here.

Regards,
Charles
