Subject: [PATCH] sched: consider migration thread with smp nice
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ede3d0fba99520f268067917b50858d788bc41da;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] sched: consider migration thread with smp nice

The intermittent scheduling of the migration thread at ultra high priority
makes the smp nice handling see that runqueue as being heavily loaded.  The
migration thread itself actually handles the balancing so its influence on
priority balancing should be ignored.
