Something like (cluster membership of first cpu > in the mask) AND (mask) should be enough. Hmm... the cost of selecting a cluster is cheap. It is called from a setup code that should not be fast. Why not keep it?.. Well in case the data would show it worth it. What seems worthy though is sticking to the cluster which is currently in use and at least one of its CPUs is still in the mask. > thanks, > suresh -- Regards, Alexander Gordeev agordeev@...hat.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
