It's relevant in periodic mode but not in dynticks mode where it results in spurious double clock writes and even spurious periodic behaviour for low-res case. This set fixes that: * 1st patch removes low-res periodic tick rescheduling in nohz mode. This fixes spurious periodic behaviour. * 2nd patch does the same for high-res mode. Here there is no such spurious periodic behaviour but it still spares a double clock write in some cases. " Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- 42594970022d223bf8f30d3aa22819e24779d6f6
