From baa8c1102f0cd86e69c1497d61d2ee177e663663 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:10:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Add a lock break for PREEMPT=y Since load-balancing can hold rq->locks for quite a long while, allow breaking out early when there is lock contention.
