5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit efd984c481abb516fab8bafb25bf41fd9397a43c ] A following patch will trigger NOHZ idle balances as a means to update nohz.next_balance. Vincent noted that blocked load updates can have non-negligible overhead, which should be avoided if the intent is to only update nohz.next_balance. Add a new NOHZ balance kick flag, NOHZ_NEXT_KICK. Gate NOHZ blocked load update by the presence of NOHZ_STATS_KICK - currently all NOHZ balance kicks will have the NOHZ_STATS_KICK flag set, so no change in behaviour is expected.
