From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 8 May 2015 12:23:45 +0000 (+0200) Subject: sched/wait: Introduce TASK_NOLOAD and TASK_IDLE X-Git-Tag: v4.14-rc1~5207^2~31 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=80ed87c8a9ca0cad7ca66cf3bbdfb17559a66dcf;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git sched/wait: Introduce TASK_NOLOAD and TASK_IDLE Currently people use TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to idle kthreads and wait for 'work' because TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE contributes to the loadavg. Having all idle kthreads contribute to the loadavg is somewhat silly. Now mostly this works OK, because kthreads have all their signals masked. However there's a few sites where this is causing problems and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE should be used, except for that loadavg issue. This patch adds TASK_NOLOAD which, when combined with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE avoids the loadavg accounting. As most of imagined usage sites are loops where a thread wants to idle, waiting for work, a helper TASK_IDLE is introduced.
