From a1f84a3ab8e002159498814eaa7e48c33752b04b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Galbraith Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:35:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Check for an idle shared cache in select_task_rq_fair() When waking affine, check for an idle shared cache, and if found, wake to that CPU/sibling instead of the waker's CPU. This improves pgsql+oltp ramp up by roughly 8%. Possibly more for other loads, depending on overlap. The trade-off is a roughly 1% peak downturn if tasks are truly synchronous.
