Subject: nohz: Improve a bit the full dynticks Kconfig documentation
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fae30dd6698ecaa93cb50213266c224bc550c32c;p=linux-beck.git

nohz: Improve a bit the full dynticks Kconfig documentation

Remove the "single task" statement from CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL
title. The constraint can be invalidated when tasks from
other sched classes than SCHED_FAIR are running. Moreover
it's possible that hrtick join the party in the future.

Also add a line about the dependency on SMP.
