[PATCH v6 07/17] sched/topology: Introduce SD metaflag for flags needing > 1 groups

Valentin Schneider
2020-08-17T11:32:19Z

In preparation of cleaning up the sd_degenerate*() functions, mark flags
used in sd_degenerate() with the new SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS flag. With this,
build a compile-time mask of those SD flags.

Note that sd_parent_degenerate() uses an extra flag in its mask,
SD_PREFER_SIBLING, which remains singled out for now.
