Subject: [patch] trivial change in kernel/sched.c in 2.6.0-test9+
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2003 00:27:13 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031126002713.1f8707f8.paterley@mail.drunkencodepoets.com> (raw)
this ends up saving a few math operations any time a child
process exits. ( calling sched_exit(task_t * p) )
here's my exact comment on the contents of the patch (left
out of the actual patch)
/*
* the funcion below was origionally this, for anyone
* wondering what I changed. I mearly used some algebra
* to factor out a 1 / (EXIT_WEIGHT + 1)
*
* p->parent->sleep_avg = p->parent->sleep_avg /
* (EXIT_WEIGHT + 1) * EXIT_WEIGHT + p->sleep_avg /
* (EXIT_WEIGHT + 1);
*
* the only possible effects I see this having are:
*
* 1. less math operations for each child process exiting
* 2. higher accuracy in the value of p->parent->sleep_avg
* due to using only 1 division over 2
*
*/
patches clean(a little offset, but no fuzz) on test9, test9-mms,
test10, test10-mm1
