It is possible to compare pointers to sched classes to check, which of them has a higher priority, instead of current iterations using for_each_class(). One more result of the patch is that size of object file becomes a little less (excluding added BUG_ON(), which goes in __init section): $size kernel/sched/core.o text data bss dec hex filename before: 66446 18957 676 86079 1503f kernel/sched/core.o after: 66398 18957 676 86031 1500f kernel/sched/core.o Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/711a9c4b-ff32-1136-b848-17c622d548f3@xxxxxxxxx --- kernel/sched/core.c | 19 ++++--------------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched/core.c b/kernel/sched/core.c index 81640fe..0a08d0c 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/core.c +++ b/kernel/sched/core.c @@ -1412,20 +1412,10 @@ static inline void check_class_changed(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, void check_preempt_curr(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) { - const struct sched_class *class; - - if (p->sched_class == rq->curr->sched_class) { + if (p->sched_class == rq->curr->sched_class) rq->curr->sched_class->check_preempt_curr(rq, p, flags); - } else { - for_each_class(class) { - if (class == rq->curr->sched_class) - break; - if (class == p->sched_class) { - resched_curr(rq); - break; - } - } - } + else if (p->sched_class > rq->curr->sched_class) + resched_curr(rq); /* * A queue event has occurred, and we're going to schedule.
