[PATCH 25/33] sched: Improve convergence

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 - break out of can_do_numa_run() earlier if we can make no progress
 - don't flip between siblings that often
 - turn on bidirectional fault balancing
 - improve the flow in task_numa_work()
