It'll be roughly proportional to the number of processes, I guess: if we have 100,000 processes (or threads) doing sleep(1000000) then yeah, it'll take some time to wake them all up and capture them in refrigerator(). But I suspect a suitable fix for any problems which arise there is to implement gang-offlining and onlining, rather than the present one-cpu-at-a-time. That'd be pretty simple to do: we already have sysfs interfaces which take a cpumask. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
