First, thanks for the great tool.
I noticed that deferrable timers are now flagged by the kernel with a
'D' at the end of the count. My understanding is that deferrable timers
don't run until the next non-deferrable timer is scheduled. Is that
correct?
If so, I believe PowerTOP shouldn't show them in its blamelist, as they
do not cause wakeups. I've attached a patch to this effect. I tried to
future-proof it against other flags being added.
oh great!
I just compiled the latest kernel to go add this very same thing to
powertop tonight... but thanks a lot for beating me to it.. I'll add
this to the codebase right away!
