Subject: [PATCH 1/7] nohz: Add more comment about CONFIG_NO_HZ
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:19:51 +0200
Message-Id: <1339604397-8758-2-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>
X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.7.5.4
In-Reply-To: <1339604397-8758-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>
References: <1339604397-8758-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <linux-kernel.vger.kernel.org>
X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

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.
