[ Upstream commit db86f55bf81a3a297be05ee8775ae9a8c6e3a599 ]
A throughput regression of 11% introduced by commit 779b1a1cb13a ("cpuidle:
governors: menu: Avoid selecting states with too much latency") has been
reported and it is related to the case when the menu governor checks if
selecting a proper idle state instead of a polling one makes sense.
In particular, it is questionable to do so if the exit latency of the
idle state in question exceeds the predicted idle duration, so add a
check for that, which is sufficient to make the reported regression go
away, and update the related code comment accordingly.

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.
