Hi Folks,
This is on top of the fixes series posted previously:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/4515817.LvFx2qVVIh@kreacher/
(I'll put it all into one git branch tomorrow).
I started to play with the idea described here
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/CAJZ5v0hQh2Pg_uXxj8KBRw3oLS1WdsU+rUafBAAq7dRdbRwYSA@mail.gmail.com/
and this is the result.
Note that this is completely experimental, even though it doesn't kill any of the test boxes I've run it on.
Patch [1/2] moves the tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() call in teo_select() after a preliminary idle state selection based on statistics and patch [2/2] adds checks to avoid it completely if the idle state selected so far is shallow enough.
I would appreciate checking if this actually makes any difference.
Thanks!
