HEAD: 8323f26ce3425460769605a6aece7a174edaa7d1 sched: Fix race in
task_group()
The biggest change is a performance improvement on SMP systems:
| 4 socket 40 core + SMT Westmere box, single 30 sec tbench
| runs, higher is better:
|
| clients 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128
|..........................................................................
| pre 30 41 118 645 3769 6214 12233 14312
| post 299 603 1211 2418 4697 6847 11606 14557
|
| A nice increase in performance.
which speedup is particularly noticeable on heavily interacting
few-tasks workloads, so the changes should help desktop-style
Xorg workloads and interactivity as well, on multi-core CPUs.
There are also cpuset suspend behavior fixes/restructuring and
various smaller tweaks.
( I had to rebase the pending scheduler tree recently, as the
work in progress NUMA scheduling changes from Peter Zijlstra
were still too raw for v3.6. This was hopefully a rare,
one-off event. )
Thanks,
Ingo
