That comes up fairly regularly when tuning the scheduler :( in this particular case we can clearly separate the two workloads though: CPU-overload (Ken's benchmark) vs. half-load (3-task tbench). So by checking for migration target/source idleness we can have a hard separator for wakeup balancing. (whether it works out for both types of workloads remains to be seen) Ingo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Fri Jul 29 12:42:17 2005
