Subject: sched: Optimize the !power_savings_balance during fbg()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a021dc03376707c55a3483e32c16b8986d4414cc;p=linux-beck.git

sched: Optimize the !power_savings_balance during fbg()

Impact: cleanup, micro-optimization

We don't need to perform power_savings balance if either the
cpu is NOT_IDLE or if the sched_domain doesn't contain the
SD_POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE flag set.

Currently, we check for these conditions multiple number of
times, even though these variables don't change over the scope
of find_busiest_group().

Check once, and store the value in the already exiting
"power_savings_balance" variable.
