Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 2/5] sched: Add NOHZ_STATS_KICK

Hi Peter,

I think that part of the proposal is missing.

One goal of the patchset was to kick an update of the stats of idle
cpu when a task wake up on a cpu but the statistic has not been
updated for a while.

That's why there where a call to nohz_kick_needed in the proposal to
kick ilb but only for updating blocked load and not a full idle load
balance

I can't find this call any more in your patchset
