Subject: [PATCH] Call get_softirq_time() only when necessary in run_hrtimer_queue()
Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 14:14:29 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060328201429.GA17130@sgi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1143573640.5344.215.camel@localhost.localdomain>

It seems that run_hrtimer_queue() is calling get_softirq_time() more
often than it needs to.

With this patch, it only calls get_softirq_time() if there's a
pending timer.
