[PATCH 1/3] sched: limit "all_pinned" balance attempts to sd->span

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

 



Load-balancing will never terminate if all cpus are "all_pinned" with
the current algorithm.  This would be pretty unlikely to occur, but we
should protect against it nonetheless.
