From f5dc37530ba8a35aae0f7f4f13781d1904f71e94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Galbraith Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2009 08:35:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Update the clock of runqueue select_task_rq() selected In try_to_wake_up(), we update the runqueue clock, but select_task_rq() may select a different runqueue than the one we updated, leaving the new runqueue's clock stale for a bit. This patch cures occasional huge latencies reported by latencytop when coming out of idle on a mostly idle NO_HZ box.
