[PATCH 1/3] sched, balancing: Update rq->max_idle_balance_cost whenever newidle balance is attempted

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

 



Commit e5fc6611 can potentially cause rq->max_idle_balance_cost to not be
updated, even when load_balance(NEWLY_IDLE) is attempted and the per-sd
max cost value is updated.

In this patch, we update the rq->max_idle_balance_cost regardless of
whether or not a task has been enqueued while browsing the domains.
