Subject: [PATCH v2] sched: Accelerate "pick_next_entity" under special condition
Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:36:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F14DEAE.60702@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1326707503.2442.219.camel@twins>

From: wangyun <wangyun@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

In original code, we get the next entity in this way:

	if(condition1)
		result=value1;
	if(condition2)
		result=value2;
	if(condition3)
		result=value3;
	return result;

So if condition3 is true, we will get value3, but still
need to check condition1 and condition2, this will waste
our time.

This patch will change the way like:

	if(condition3) {
		result=value3;
		goto out;
	}
	if(condition2) {
		result=value2;
		goto out;
	}
	if(condition1) {
		result=value1;
		goto out;
	}

	out:
	return result;

So we can avoid check condition2 and condition1 when
condition3 is true now.

v2:
	1. do not use ugly macro any more.
	2. add more description.
