From e25a7a944f1936b5134b7ee06bc432fc701e4aa3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Valentin Schneider Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2019 17:59:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Comment some nohz_balancer_kick() kick conditions We now have a comment explaining the first sched_domain based NOHZ kick, so might as well comment them all. While at it, unwrap a line that fits under 80 characters.
