From a0db971e4eb69fc84eb3d7ef94f718b483550b4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2017 04:12:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] nohz: Move idle balancer registration to the idle path The idle load balancing registration path assumes that we only stop the tick when the CPU is idle, ignoring the nohz full case. As a result, a nohz full CPU that is running a task may be chosen to perform idle load balancing. Lets make sure that only CPUs in dynticks idle mode can be picked as idle load balancers.
