McKenney: " This series has four patches, the major point of which is to eliminate some slowdowns (including boot-time slowdowns) resulting from some RCU_FAST_NO_HZ changes. The issue with the changes is that posting timers from the idle loop has no effect if the CPU has entered dyntick-idle mode because the CPU has already computed its wakeup time, and posting a timer does not cause it to be recomputed. The short-term fix is for RCU to precompute the timeout value so that the CPU's calculation is correct. " Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- 4a1e001d2bb75c47a9cdbbfb66ae51daff1ddcba
