From f07333bf6ee66d9b49286cec4371cf375e745b7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Turner Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2011 20:45:03 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Avoid expensive initial update_cfs_load() Since cfs->{load_stamp,load_last} are zero-initalized the initial load update will consider the delta to be 'since the beginning of time'. This results in a lot of pointless divisions to bring this large period to be within the sysctl_sched_shares_window. Fix this by initializing load_stamp to be 1 at cfs_rq initialization, this allows for an initial load_stamp > load_last which then lets standard idle truncation proceed. We avoid spinning (and slightly improve consistency) by fixing delta to be [period - 1] in this path resulting in a slightly more predictable shares ramp. (Previously the amount of idle time preserved by the overflow would range between [period/2,period-1].)
