Subject: Re: [PATCH] sched: wakeup buddy
Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:08:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1363082932.14933.19.camel@laptop> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <513E9FC6.4060507@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Does something simple like a per-task throttle of wake_affine() gain
similar benefits? Say something like only do wake_affine() once every
10 ms or so (counting on the wakee, not waker).

The rationale being that wake_affine() relies on load-balance
statistics that aren't updated that much faster, so calling it more
often than that seems pointless.

Something like that should take a lot less lines to implement.

Just wondering..
