Subject: RFC: Don't enable both cpuidle governors when NO_HZ is enabled.
Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2010 23:52:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100625035254.GA25695@redhat.com> (raw)

Does this patch make sense ?

I noticed we setup both governors during boot..

 kernel: [    3.387035] cpuidle: using governor ladder
 kernel: [    3.391541] cpuidle: using governor menu

which seems wasteful.

With this patch, we configure either ladder, or menu, depending on
whether NO_HZ is set.
