Message-Id: <1285633798-26886-4-git-send-email-ncrao@google.com> Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2010 17:29:58 -0700 From: Nikhil Rao <ncrao@...gle.com> To: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>, Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>, Mike Galbraith <efault@....de> Cc: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venki@...gle.com>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Nikhil Rao <ncrao@...gle.com> Subject: [PATCH 3/3] sched: do not consider SCHED_IDLE tasks to be cache hot This patch adds a check in task_hot to return if the task has SCHED_IDLE policy. SCHED_IDLE tasks have very low weight, and when run with regular weight tasks, are typically scheduled many milliseconds apart. There is no benefit from considering SCHED_IDLE tasks cache hot for load balancing.
