From 45da7a2b0af8fa29dff2e6ba8926322068350fce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2020 10:48:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Exclude the current CPU from find_new_ilb() It is possible for find_new_ilb() to select the current CPU, however, this only happens from newidle balancing, in which case need_resched() will be true, and consequently nohz_csd_func() will not trigger the softirq. Exclude the current CPU from becoming an ILB target.
