The nohz tick code recalculates the timer wheel's next expiry on each idle loop iteration. On the other hand, the base next expiry is now always cached and updated upon timer enqueue and execution. Only timer dequeue may leave base->next_expiry out of date (but then its stale value won't ever go past the actual next expiry to be recalculated). Since recalculating the next_expiry isn't a free operation, especially when the last wheel level is reached to find out that no timer has been enqueued at all, reuse the next expiry cache when it is known to be reliable, which it is most of the time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
