From 4ae7d5cefd4aa3560e359a3b0f03e12adc8b5c86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2008 01:42:00 +0100 Subject: sched: improve affine wakeups improve affine wakeups. Maintain the 'overlap' metric based on CFS's sum_exec_runtime - which means the amount of time a task executes after it wakes up some other task. Use the 'overlap' for the wakeup decisions: if the 'overlap' is short, it means there's strong workload coupling between this task and the woken up task. If the 'overlap' is large then the workload is decoupled and the scheduler will move them to separate CPUs more easily. ( Also slightly move the preempt_check within try_to_wake_up() - this has no effect on functionality but allows 'early wakeups' (for still-on-rq tasks) to be correctly accounted as well.)
