The patch titled
dynticks: Fix one off jiffy update
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
tick-management-dyntick--highres-functionality-fix-2.patch
This patch was dropped because it is obsolete
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: dynticks: Fix one off jiffy update
From: Thomas Gleixner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The rework of the jiffy update code introduced a one off error, which
led to a one off accounting error for last_jiffy_update. This made
jiffies lag behind.
Noticed by Karsten Wiese (cpufreq_ondemand weirdness).
