Subject: [PATCH 1/7] nohz: Add more comment about CONFIG_NO_HZ
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:19:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1339604397-8758-2-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1339604397-8758-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>
In order to prepare for adding a new config to implement
adaptive tickless, clarify that CONFIG_NO_HZ alone only
stops the tick on idle.
