the instances are simply idling. With NO_HZ applied, the change is minimal with C3 residency still approximately 98%. UML is not even among the top three of the bad-list of wakers-up :-) Hrishikesh On 10/18/07, Jeff Dike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Wed, Oct 17, 2007 at 07:2

e put my finger on where it is happening, but when CONFIG_NO_HZ is not enabled, the timer_one_shot() is not being called at all. This means that the timer is never set and hence returns 0 as old value whenever setitimer is called later. Hope that helps, Hrishikesh On 10/17/07, Jeff Dike <[EM
