Subject: [PATCH 4/5] nohz: Improve a bit the full dynticks Kconfig documentation
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 23:10:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1366060220-20271-5-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1366060220-20271-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>
Remove the "single task" statement from CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL
title. The constraint can be invalidated when tasks from
other sched classes than SCHED_FAIR are running. Moreover
it's possible that hrtick join the party in the future.
Also add a line about the dependency on SMP.
