From 03e6bdc5c4d0fc166bfd5d3cf749a5a0c1b5b1bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Viresh Kumar Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2014 10:54:40 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] tick-sched: Don't call update_wall_time() when delta is lesser than tick_period In tick_do_update_jiffies64() we are processing ticks only if delta is greater than tick_period. This is what we are supposed to do here and it broke a bit with this patch: commit 47a1b796 (tick/timekeeping: Call update_wall_time outside the jiffies lock) With above patch, we might end up calling update_wall_time() even if delta is found to be smaller that tick_period. Fix this by returning when the delta is less than tick period.
