Subject: [patch 4/6] sched, nohz: cleanup the find_new_ilb() using sched groups nr_busy_cpus
Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:03:27 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111118230554.047877809@sbsiddha-desk.sc.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20111118230323.592022417@sbsiddha-desk.sc.intel.com

[-- Attachment #1: cleanup_find_ilb.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3258 bytes --]

nr_busy_cpus in the sched_group_power indicates whether the group
is semi idle or not. This helps remove the is_semi_idle_group() and simplify
the find_new_ilb() in the context of finding an optimal cpu that can do
idle load balancing.
