Subject: [PATCH 1/5] s390/tick: Remove CIF_NOHZ_DELAY flag
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 09:52:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609075213.31094-2-meted@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609075213.31094-1-meted@linux.ibm.com>
Remove obsolete tick delay heuristic [1]. The upcoming cpuidle driver
handles frequent sleep/wakeup cycles more effectively.
