ACPI: acpi_idle: touch TS_POLLING only in the non-MWAIT case
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit d306ebc
(ACPI: Be in TS_POLLING state during mwait based C-state entry)
fixed an important power & performance issue where ACPI c2 and c3 C-states
were clearing TS_POLLING even when using MWAIT (ACPI_STATE_FFH).
That bug had been causing us to receive redundant scheduling interrups
when we had already been woken up by MONITOR/MWAIT.

Following up on that...

In the MWAIT case, we don't have to subsequently
check need_resched(), as that c heck was there
for the TS_POLLING-clearing case.

Note that not only does the cpuidle calling function
already check need_resched() before calling us, the
low-level entry into monitor/mwait calls it twice --
guaranteeing that a write to the trigger address
can not go un-noticed.

Also, in this case, we don't have to set TS_POLLING
when we wake, because we never cleared it.
