But now you are slowing down the nmi_watchdog so much that the watchdog_thresh hold becomes meaningless, no? (granted the turbo-mode blows it out of the water too) So now folks who depend on the 10/5/1/whatever second reliability lose that. I think that might be unfair too. The hrtimer increase maintains that and just adds a few more interrupts/second. Cheers, Don
