Subject: [PATCH v2 07/12] sched/core: Simplify/fix time updates
Date: Sat, 07 Nov 2026 12:59:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261107120207.538879470@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107115913.261163891@infradead.org>

Use __update_rq_clock() and the new update semantics instead of using
convoluted logic to try and divinate if a clock needs updating.
