From f7ea0fd639c2c48d3c61b6eec75362be290c6874 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Mon, 13 May 2013 21:40:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tick: Don't invoke tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() if the cpu is offline commit 5b39939a4 (nohz: Move ts->idle_calls incrementation into strict idle logic) moved code out of tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() and missed to bail out when the cpu is offline. That's causing subsequent failures as an offline CPU is supposed to die and not to fiddle with nohz magic. Return false in can_stop_idle_tick() if the cpu is offline.
