Commit: ef8002f6848236de5adc613063ebeabddea8a6fb upstream Author: Nikhil Rao <[email protected]> AuthorDate: Wed Oct 13 12:09:35 2010 -0700
This patch adds a check in task_hot to return if the task has SCHED_IDLE policy. SCHED_IDLE tasks have very low weight, and when run with regular workloads, are typically scheduled many milliseconds apart. There is no need to consider these tasks hot for load balancing.
