From 236968383cf5cd48835ff0d8a265e299e220d140 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anna-Maria Gleixner Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2016 09:50:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] timers: Optimize collect_expired_timers() for NOHZ After a NOHZ idle sleep the timer wheel must be forwarded to current jiffies. There might be expired timers so the current code loops and checks the expired buckets for timers. This can take quite some time for long NOHZ idle periods. The pending bitmask in the timer base allows us to do a quick search for the next expiring timer and therefore a fast forward of the base time which prevents pointless long lasting loops. For a 3 seconds idle sleep this reduces the catchup time from ~1ms to 5us.
