Subject: [PATCH v1] sched: idle: Make skipping governor callbacks more consistent
Date: Sat, 07 Mar 2026 17:12:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <12857700.O9o76ZdvQC@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260304030306.uk5c63xw4oqvjffb@airbuntu>

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

If the cpuidle governor .select() callback is skipped because there
is only one idle state in the cpuidle driver, the .reflect() callback
should be skipped as well, at least for consistency (if not for
correctness), so do it.

Fixes: e5c9ffc6ae1b ("cpuidle: Skip governor when only one idle state is available")
