| |
From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
TS_POLLING set tells the scheduler a task will poll need_resched() to look for work.
TS_POLLING clear tells resched_task() and wake_up_idle_cpu() that the remote CPU is sleeping in idle, and thus requires a reschedule interrupt to wake them to notice work.
Update the description of TS_POLLING to reflect how it works. "cleared when sleeping in idle, requiring reschedule interrupt"
