Subject: [PATCH v2] cpuidle: powerpc: avoid double clear when breaking snooze
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 11:47:09 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311061709.1230440-1-sshegde@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
snooze_loop is done often in any system which has fair bit of
idle time. So it qualifies for even micro-optimizations.
When breaking the snooze due to timeout, TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is cleared
twice. Clearing the bit invokes atomics. Avoid double clear and thereby
avoid one atomic write.
dev->poll_time_limit indicates whether the loop was broken due to
timeout. Use that instead of defining a new variable.
Fixes: 7ded429152e8 ("cpuidle: powerpc: no memory barrier after break from idle")
