| |
It seems that hrtimer_run_queues() is calling hrtimer_get_softirq_time() more often than it needs to. This can cause frequent contention on systems with large numbers of processors/cores.
With this patch, hrtimer_run_queues only calls hrtimer_get_softirq_time() if there is a pending timer in one of the hrtimer bases, and only once.
This also combines hrtimer_run_queues() and the inline run_hrtimer_queue() into one function.
