[PATCH 4.18 085/145] sched: idle: Avoid retaining the tick when it has been stopped

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Sep 07 2018 - 17:16:44 EST


4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 7059b36636beab57c3c43c62104483e5449bee95 upstream.

If the tick has been stopped already, but the governor has not asked to
stop it (which it can do sometimes), the idle loop should invoke
tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick(), to let tick_nohz_stop_tick() take care
of this case properly.

Fixes: 554c8aa8ecad (sched: idle: Select idle state before stopping the tick)
