I have one minor question, previously Peter mentioned that he wants to get rid of the
percpu sd_share_id, not sure if he means that not using it in select_idle_cpu()
or remove that variable completely to not introduce extra space?
Hi Peter, could you please give us more hints on this? thanks.
If we wants to get rid of this variable, would this work?
if ((sd->groups->flags & SD_CLUSTER) &&
cpumask_test_cpu(prev, sched_group_span(sd->groups))
return prev
Anyway, I'll queue a test job on top of your version and see what the result is.
thanks,
Chenyu
