From e69b0f1b41c0e57bb1e29100b5810a5914efcb45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:38:52 +0200 Subject: sched: Add a few SYNC hint knobs to play with Currently we use overlap to weaken the SYNC hint, but allow it to set the hint as well. echo NO_SYNC_WAKEUP > /debug/sched_features echo SYNC_MORE > /debug/sched_features preserves pipe-test behaviour without using the WF_SYNC hint. Worth playing with on more workloads...
