From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Sat, 25 Aug 2007 16:41:53 +0000 (+0200) Subject: sched: adaptive scheduler granularity X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc4~11^2~1 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=218050855ece4e923106ab614ac65afa0f618df3;p=linux-2.6 sched: adaptive scheduler granularity Instead of specifying the preemption granularity, specify the wanted latency. By fixing the granlarity to a constany the wakeup latency it a function of the number of running tasks on the rq. Invert this relation. sysctl_sched_granularity becomes a minimum for the dynamic granularity computed from the new sysctl_sched_latency. Then use this latency to do more intelligent granularity decisions: if there are fewer tasks running then we can schedule coarser. This helps performance while still always keeping the latency target.
