    [PATCH] sched: HT optimisation · 5969fe06
    Nick Piggin 提交于
    If an idle sibling of an HT queue encounters a busy sibling, then make
    higher level load balancing of the non-idle variety.
    
    Performance of multiprocessor HT systems with low numbers of tasks
    (generally < number of virtual CPUs) can be significantly worse than the
    exact same workloads when running in non-HT mode.  The reason is largely
    due to poor scheduling behaviour.
    
    This patch improves the situation, making the performance gap far less
    significant on one problematic test case (tbench).
