Subject: [PATCH-v2 5/8] sched: clarify commment for TS_POLLING
Date: Thu, 27 May 2010 01:53:50 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.00.1005270152460.8496@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4a831611847e8965ed5f3328e52fe8758115b951.1274926772.git.len.brown@intel.com>
From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
TS_POLLING set tells the scheduler an idle_task will poll
need_resched() to look for work.
TS_POLLING clear tells resched_task() and wake_up_idle_cpu()
that the remote CPU's idle_task is now sleeping in idle,
and thus requires a reschedule interrupt notice work.
Update the description of TS_POLLING to reflect how it works.
"idle task polling need_resched, skip sending interrupt"
