From what I understand, NOHZ selects one-shot (like is done in this patch), so why don't the machines with a TWD choose NOHZ or high res timers? Putting it another way, if my machine supports a oneshot capable clockevent device should I be selecting oneshot regardless of the NOHZ and high res config option being chosen? -- Sent by an employee of the Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
