From 19978ca610946ed57c071bad63f8f6642ca1298b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2007 22:39:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: reintroduce SMP tunings again Yanmin Zhang reported an aim7 regression and bisected it down to: | commit 38ad464d410dadceda1563f36bdb0be7fe4c8938 | Author: Ingo Molnar | Date: Mon Oct 15 17:00:02 2007 +0200 | | sched: uniform tunings | | use the same defaults on both UP and SMP. fix this by reintroducing similar SMP tunings again. This resolves the regression. (also update the comments to match the ilog2(nr_cpus) tuning effect) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- kernel/sched.c | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kernel/sched_fair.c | 18 +++++++++--------- 2 files changed, 37 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched.c b/kernel/sched.c index 3f6bd11..69cae27 100644 --- a/kernel/sched.c +++ b/kernel/sched.c @@ -4992,6 +4992,32 @@ void __cpuinit init_idle(struct task_struct *idle, int cpu) */ cpumask_t nohz_cpu_mask = CPU_MASK_NONE; +/* + * Increase the granularity value when there are more CPUs, + * because with more CPUs the 'effective latency' as visible + * to users decreases.
