From 16cfb1c04c3cbe3759f339d3333e7e1e7d59712a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 14:57:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] sched: reduce active load balancing Fix up active load balancing a bit so it doesn't get called when it shouldn't. Reset the nr_balance_failed counter at more points where we have found conditions to be balanced. This reduces too aggressive active balancing seen on some workloads.
