Hello, Ingo,
This pull request contains latency bandaids^Woptimizations to the
timer-wheel code that are useful in conjunction with NO_HZ_FULL Kconfig
option. These optimizations reduce the jiffy-by-jiffy looping in cases
where there is either zero or one timers in the timer wheel, which is
a common case for NO_HZ_FULL "worker" CPUs that run almost entirely
in usermode for a single task.
Each of these commits has at least two Reviewed-by, one Acked-by, and
one Tested-by tag, so they are ready for more extensive testing in -tip.
Thanx, Paul

Hi Paul,
The commit id:e1d690cdc07637131ba4334: timers: Track total number of
timers in list has
a minor glitch in the changelog.
I am referring to your
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git
rcu/timers branch.
"even if ->active_timers is zero, there might well be *non-deferrable*
timers in the list"
s/non-deferrable/deferrable.
Thanks
Regards
Preeti U Murthy

Good catch, fixed! New pull request below, very similar to the last one.
