X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2ee507c472939db4b146d545352b8a7c79ef47f8;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git sched: Add function single_task_running to let a task check if it is the only task running on a cpu This function will help an async task processing batched jobs from workqueue decide if it wants to keep processing on more chunks of batched work that can be delayed, or to accumulate more work for more efficient batched processing later. If no other tasks are running on the cpu, the batching process can take advantgae of the available cpu cycles to a make decision to continue processing the existing accumulated work to minimize delay, otherwise it will yield.
