[PATCH 1/5] intel_idle: simplify test for leave_mm()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx>

A run-time test to invoke leave_mm() for the deepest
supported C-state is redundant, since the appropriate
C-states already have flags with CPUIDLE_FLAG_TLB_FLUSHED set.
