SubjectThe tick when exit idle for nohz_full cpu
Date
Hi, Frederic
I noticed currently the tick_nohz_idle_exit() will always restart the sched_tick, even when it's on the nohz_full cpu. I'm not sure if we can keep the sched_tick stopped if it's on a nohz_full_cpu. The sched tick will be enabled on tick_nohz_task_switch() if needed. Is it ok to keep the sched tick off in the scheduling process?

Something like followed patch (just to show the idea).

Thanks
