From ede3d0fba99520f268067917b50858d788bc41da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Con Kolivas Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2005 21:39:00 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] sched: consider migration thread with smp nice The intermittent scheduling of the migration thread at ultra high priority makes the smp nice handling see that runqueue as being heavily loaded. The migration thread itself actually handles the balancing so its influence on priority balancing should be ignored.
