Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/3] sched/fair: Enable interrupts when dropping lock in newidle_balance()
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2020 00:02:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200428050242.17717-3-swood@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200428050242.17717-1-swood@redhat.com>
When combined with the next patch, which breaks out of rebalancing
when an RT task is runnable, significant latency reductions are seen
on systems with many CPUs.
