From 3f3a490480d8ab96e0fe30a41f80f14e6a0c579d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:06:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: virtual time buddy preemption Since we moved wakeup preemption back to virtual time, it makes sense to move the buddy stuff back as well. The purpose of the buddy scheduling is to allow a quickly scheduling pair of tasks to run away from the group as far as a regular busy task would be allowed under wakeup preemption. This has the advantage that the pair can ping-pong for a while, enjoying cache-hotness. Without buddy scheduling other tasks would interleave destroying the cache. Also, it saves a word in cfs_rq.
