From 9439aab8dbc33c2c03c3a19dba267360383ba38c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suresh Siddha Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 21:28:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] sched: fix newly idle load balance in case of SMT In the presence of SMT, newly idle balance was never happening for multi-core and SMP domains (even when both the logical siblings are idle). If thread 0 is already idle and when thread 1 is about to go to idle, newly idle load balance always think that one of the threads is not idle and skips doing the newly idle load balance for multi-core and SMP domains. This is because of the idle_cpu() macro, which checks if the current process on a cpu is an idle process. But this is not the case for the thread doing the load_balance_newidle(). Fix this by using runqueue's nr_running field instead of idle_cpu(). And also skip the logic of 'only one idle cpu in the group will be doing load balancing' during newly idle case.
