From: Viresh Kumar viresh.kumar@linaro.org Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2014 10:54:41 +0530 Subject: tick-sched: Check tick_nohz_enabled in tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz()
commit 27630532ef5ead28b98cfe28d8f95222ef91c2b7 upstream.
Since commit d689fe222 (NOHZ: Check for nohz active instead of nohz enabled) the tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() function returns because it checks for the tick_nohz_active flag. This can't be set, because the function itself sets it.
Undo the change in tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz().
