From ab2789213d224202237292d78aaa0c386c7b28b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:47:00 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix select_idle_sibling() regression in selecting an idle SMT sibling Mike Galbraith reported that this recent commit: commit 4dcfe1025b513c2c1da5bf5586adb0e80148f612 Author: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu Nov 10 13:01:10 2011 +0100 sched: Avoid SMT siblings in select_idle_sibling() if possible stopped selecting an idle SMT sibling when there are no idle cores in a single socket system. Intent of the select_idle_sibling() was to fallback to an idle SMT sibling, if it fails to identify an idle core. But this fallback was not happening on systems where all the scheduler domains had `SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES' flag set. Fix it. Slightly bigger patch of cleaning all these goto's etc is queued up for the next release.
