Subject: [GIT PULL] scheduler fixes
Linus,
Please pull the latest sched-fixes-for-linus git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git sched-fixes-for-linus
Thanks,
Ingo
------------------>
Mike Galbraith (1):
sched: Use LAST_BUDDY only to minimize negative wakeup preemption effects
Peter Zijlstra (2):
sched: Disable SD_PREFER_LOCAL for MC/CPU domains
sched: Do less agressive buddy clearing
