[PATCH 03/13] RT: Add a per-cpu rt_overload indication

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The system currently evaluates all online CPUs whenever one or more enters
an rt_overload condition.  This suffers from scalability limitations as
the # of online CPUs increases.  So we introduce a cpumask to track
exactly which CPUs need RT balancing.
