Subject: sched/fair: Optimize find_idlest_cpu() when there is no choice
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eaecf41f5abf80b63c8e025fcb9ee4aa203c3038;p=linux-beck.git

sched/fair: Optimize find_idlest_cpu() when there is no choice

In the current find_idlest_group()/find_idlest_cpu() search we end up
calling find_idlest_cpu() in a sched_group containing only one CPU in
the end. Checking idle-states becomes pointless when there is no
alternative, so bail out instead.
