Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/3] sched/doc: Update the CPU capacity asymmetry bits
Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2021 14:01:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1618578085-29584-4-git-send-email-beata.michalska@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1618578085-29584-1-git-send-email-beata.michalska@arm.com>
Update the documentation bits referring to capacity aware scheduling
with regards to newly introduced SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL shed_domain
flag.
