Subject: [PATCH 0/2][RFC] Scheduler preemption hooks, #2
Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2007 18:55:31 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <11841693332609-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com> (raw)
I redid the the scheduler preemption patches based on Rusty's feedback.
Things do look much cleaner this time around.
Changes:
- split into core and kvm parts
- incorporated Shaohua Li's fix
- each task now has a list of independently managed preemption hooks
- move preempt hook pointer to a hot cache line within task_struct
I haven't made kernel_fpu_begin()/kernel_fpu_end() preemptible as promised,
because (a) we need to find a place to put the fpu state, and (b) we should
get better performance by reusing cr0.ts anyway.
