Subject: [PATCH 09/12] timer: Expand clk forward logic beyond nohz
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2020 16:05:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200717140551.29076-10-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200717140551.29076-1-frederic@kernel.org>
As for next_expiry, we want to expand base->clk catch up logic beyond
nohz in order to avoid triggering useless softirqs.
If we want to fire softirqs only to expire pending timers, periodic
base->clk increments must be skippable for random amounts of time.
Therefore we must prepare to catch-up with missing updates whenever we
need an up-to-date base clock.
