[PATCH v2 03/13] sched/fair: Optimize find_idlest_cpu() when there is no choice
From: Morten Rasmussen
Date: Wed Jun 22 2016 - 13:05:24 EST
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.
