From ac7d550499e225efb51a53d0b00667f26b93bdff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Siddha, Suresh B" Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2006 02:20:12 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] sched domain: increase the SMT busy rebalance interval With SMT, if the logical processor is busy, load balance happens for every 8msec(min)-16msec(max). There is no need to do this often, as this is just for fairness(to maintain uniform runqueue lengths) and default time slice anyhow is 100msec. Appended patch increases this interval to 64msec(min)-128msec(max) when the logical processor is busy.
