From: Nick Piggin Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2005 07:26:16 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] sched: less newidle locking X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d6d5cfaf4551aa7713ca6ab73bb77e832602204b;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git [PATCH] sched: less newidle locking Similarly to the earlier change in load_balance, only lock the runqueue in load_balance_newidle if the busiest queue found has a nr_running > 1. This will reduce frequency of expensive remote runqueue lock aquisitions in the schedule() path on some workloads.
