From 4dcfe1025b513c2c1da5bf5586adb0e80148f612 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 13:01:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Avoid SMT siblings in select_idle_sibling() if possible Avoid select_idle_sibling() from picking a sibling thread if there's an idle core that shares cache. This fixes SMT balancing in the increasingly common case where there's a shared cache core available to balance to.
