The following commit has been merged into the timers/core branch of tip: Commit-ID: d9b1865c86aec7c515db5718e4820106c2c12db3 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/d9b1865c86aec7c515db5718e4820106c2c12db3 Author: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Sun, 25 Feb 2024 23:55:02 +01:00 Committer: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Mon, 26 Feb 2024 11:37:32 +01:00 tick: Assume the tick can't be stopped in NOHZ_MODE_INACTIVE mode The full-nohz update function checks if the nohz mode is active before proceeding. It considers one exception though: if the tick is already stopped even though the nohz mode is inactive, it still moves on in order to update/restart the tick if needed. However in order for the tick to be stopped, the nohz_mode has to be either NOHZ_MODE_LOWRES or NOHZ_MODE_HIGHRES. Therefore it doesn't make sense to test if the tick is stopped before verifying NOHZ_MODE_INACTIVE mode. Remove the needless related condition.
