[PATCH V3 2/7] timer: hrtimer: Don't check idle_cpu() before calling get_nohz_timer_target()

From: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>
Date: 2013-03-18 15:24:21
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Check for current cpu's idleness is already done in implementation of
sched_select_cpu() which is called by get_nohz_timer_target(). So, no need to
call idle_cpu() twice, once from sched_select_cpu() and once from timer and
hrtimer before calling get_nohz_timer_target().

This patch removes calls to idle_cpu() from timer and hrtimer.
