Messages in this thread Patch in this message | | | From | Chris Metcalf <> | Subject | [PATCH v16 05/13] Add try_stop_full_tick() API for NO_HZ_FULL | Date | Fri, 3 Nov 2017 13:04:44 -0400 |
| |
This API checks to see if the scheduler tick can be stopped, and if so, stops it and returns 0; otherwise it returns an error. This is intended for use with task isolation, where we will want to be able to stop the tick synchronously when returning to userspace.
