From: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> TS_POLLING set tells the scheduler an idle_task will poll need_resched() to look for work. TS_POLLING clear tells resched_task() and wake_up_idle_cpu() that the remote CPU's idle_task is now sleeping in idle, and thus requires a reschedule interrupt notice work. Update the description of TS_POLLING to reflect how it works. "idle task polling need_resched, skip sending interrupt" Wordsmithing-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h | 4 ++-- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h index e0d2890..8121869 100644 --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h @@ -241,8 +241,8 @@ static inline struct thread_info *current_thread_info(void) #define TS_USEDFPU 0x0001 /* FPU was used by this task this quantum (SMP) */ #define TS_COMPAT 0x0002 /* 32bit syscall active (64BIT)*/ -#define TS_POLLING 0x0004 /* true if in idle loop - and not sleeping */ +#define TS_POLLING 0x0004 /* idle task polling need_resched, + skip sending interrupt */ #define TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK 0x0008 /* restore signal mask in do_signal() */ #define TS_XSAVE 0x0010 /* Use xsave/xrstor */ -- 1.6.0.6 _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
