Subject: [patch] sched: align rq to cacheline boundary
Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2007 11:08:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070409180853.GC3948@linux-os.sc.intel.com> (raw)
Align the per cpu runqueue to the cacheline boundary. This will minimize the
number of cachelines touched during remote wakeup.
