Subject: tick-sched: Clarify "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending" warning
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bca37119c57bdc2c68c84b313a5118005e8693cf;p=linux.git

tick-sched: Clarify "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending" warning

Currently, can_stop_idle_tick() prints "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending HH"
(where "HH" is the hexadecimal softirq vector number) when one or more
non-RCU softirq handlers are still enabled when checking to stop the
scheduler-tick interrupt.  This message is not as enlightening as one
might hope, so this commit changes it to "NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU
local softirq work is pending, handler #HH".
