This is not necessary and even buggy because: * There is no dyntick handling to do. And calling tick_nohz_idle_enter() messes up with the struct tick_sched reset that was performed on tick_sched_timer_dying(). * There is no nohz idle balancing to do. * Polling on TIF_RESCHED is irrelevant at this stage, there are no more tasks allowed to run. * No need to check if need_resched() before offline handling since stop_machine is done and all per-cpu kthread should be done with their job. Therefore move the offline handling at the beginning of the idle loop. This will also ease the idle cputime unification later by not elapsing idle time while offline through the call to: tick_nohz_idle_enter() -> tick_nohz_start_idle() Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker --- kernel/sched/idle.c | 11 ++++++----- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched/idle.c b/kernel/sched/idle.c index c174afe1dd17..35d79af3286d 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/idle.c +++ b/kernel/sched/idle.c @@ -260,6 +260,12 @@ static void do_idle(void) { int cpu =3D smp_processor_id(); =20 + if (cpu_is_offline(cpu)) { + local_irq_disable(); + cpuhp_report_idle_dead(); + arch_cpu_idle_dead(); + } + /* * Check if we need to update blocked load */ @@ -311,11 +317,6 @@ static void do_idle(void) */ local_irq_disable(); =20 - if (cpu_is_offline(cpu)) { - cpuhp_report_idle_dead(); - arch_cpu_idle_dead(); - } - arch_cpu_idle_enter(); rcu_nocb_flush_deferred_wakeup(); =20 --=20 2.51.1
