From 50b926e439620c469565e8be0f28be78f5fca1ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Galbraith Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2010 14:44:56 +0100 Subject: sched: Fix vmark regression on big machines SD_PREFER_SIBLING is set at the CPU domain level if power saving isn't enabled, leading to many cache misses on large machines as we traverse looking for an idle shared cache to wake to. Change the enabler of select_idle_sibling() to SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES, and enable same at the sibling domain level.
