4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> commit 7059b36636beab57c3c43c62104483e5449bee95 upstream. If the tick has been stopped already, but the governor has not asked to stop it (which it can do sometimes), the idle loop should invoke tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick(), to let tick_nohz_stop_tick() take care of this case properly. Fixes: 554c8aa8ecad (sched: idle: Select idle state before stopping the tick) Cc: 4.17+ <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # 4.17+ Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
