From b4fe51823d797d6959b2eee7868023e61606daa9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:56:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] do_wait() wakeup optimization: child_wait_callback: check __WNOTHREAD case Suggested by Roland. do_wait(__WNOTHREAD) can only succeed if the caller is either ptracer, or it is ->real_parent and the child is not traced. IOW, caller == p->parent otherwise we should not wake up. Change child_wait_callback() to check this. Ratan reports the workload with CPU load >99% caused by unnecessary wakeups, should be fixed by this patch.
