Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Reduce SIS scanning
Date: Wed,  4 Aug 2021 12:58:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210804115857.6253-1-mgorman@techsingularity.net> (raw)

This is the first two patches from "Modify and/or delete SIS_PROP" and
focues on improving the hit rate for recent_used_cpu and avoids rescanning
the target CPU when it's known to be busy. These are relatively simply
patches in comparison to the full series which could be a regression
magnet and that series had at least one mistake in it.

In general, the usual suspects showed mostly small gains with a few
exceptions.  Usual suspects were NAS, hackbench, schbench (Facebook
latency-sensitive workload), perf pipe, kernel building, git test suite,
dbench and redis.

From here, the next obvious candidates are either improving has_idle_cores
or continuing to try remove/improve SIS_PROP.
