SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH] tick/sched: Ensure quiet_vmstat() is called when the idle tick was stopped too

Frederic,

Yes, this is indeed the concern. So, the idea I had was to invoke
quiet_vmstat() regardless if the tick was stopped or not. If I understand
correctly, this should resolve the issue. Furthermore, folding of all
outstanding differentials will only occur when required. Thus performance
should be negligible.


Kind regards,
