[PATCH -v8 1/7] sched: check the right ->nr_running inyield_task_fair

From: Rik van Riel
Date: Mon Jan 31 2011 - 16:49:30 EST


With CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED, each task_group has its own cfs_rq.
Yielding to a task from another cfs_rq may be worthwhile, since
a process calling yield typically cannot use the CPU right now.

Therefor, we want to check the per-cpu nr_running, not the
cgroup local one.
