All kidding aside, I think this is the real answer. We don't need a new NO_HZ, we need to make NO_HZ_FULL work. Right now it doesn't do exactly what it was created to do. That should be fixed.

That should be the main focus. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
