This way the destination CPU can decide to restart the tick to handle this new situation. Now let's call that kick in the scheduler IPI. (Reusing the scheduler IPI rather than implementing a new IPI was suggested by Peter Zijlstra a while ago) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Chris Metcalf Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: Geoff Levand Cc: Gilad Ben Yossef Cc: Hakan Akkan Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Kevin Hilman Cc: Li Zhong Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Paul E.
