From e12f31d3e5d36328c7fbd0fce40a95e70b59152c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Galbraith Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:15:51 +0100 Subject: sched: Remove avg_overlap Both avg_overlap and avg_wakeup had an inherent problem in that their accuracy was detrimentally affected by cross-cpu wakeups, this because we are missing the necessary call to update_curr(). This can't be fixed without increasing overhead in our already too fat fastpath. Additionally, with recent load balancing changes making us prefer to place tasks in an idle cache domain (which is good for compute bound loads), communicating tasks suffer when a sync wakeup, which would enable affine placement, is turned into a non-sync wakeup by SYNC_LESS. With one task on the runqueue, wake_affine() rejects the affine wakeup request, leaving the unfortunate where placed, taking frequent cache misses. Remove it, and recover some fastpath cycles.
