Subject: [PATCH 07/10] tick/nohz: Update nohz_full Kconfig help
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2021 13:37:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210311123708.23501-8-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210311123708.23501-1-frederic@kernel.org>
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL behaves just like CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default.
Reassure distros about it.
