Subject: Re: [PATCH v7 0/8] Tunable sched_mc_power_savings=n
Date: Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:59:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1231318755.3899.57.camel@marge.simson.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090106184552.GI17198@balbir.in.ibm.com>
I have a couple questions if you don't mind.
In wake_idle() there's an odd looking check for kthreads. Why does it
matter if a kbuild task wakes kernel or userland helper thread?
I also don't see why sched_mc overrides domain tunings. You can turn
NEWIDLE off and sched_mc remains as set, so it's a one-way override. If
NEWIDLE is a requirement for sched_mc > 0, it seems only logical to set
sched_mc to 0 if the user explicitly disables NEWIDLE.
