Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 bpf-next 2/5] sched: use static_branch_likely() for the NUMA balancing tick check
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:41:54 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019064157.29885-3-laoar.shao@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019064157.29885-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com>
task_tick_fair() checks sched_numa_balancing on every tick. The
static_branch_unlikely() annotation reserves the nop for the disabled case,
so the default configuration (NUMA_BALANCING_DEFAULT_ENABLED=y) pays a
taken jump per tick. Flip the polarity to static_branch_likely() so that
the fast path matches the default.
