[PATCH v2] sched/schedutil : optimize computation of utilization in schedutil

From: Vincent Guittot
Date: Tue Oct 02 2018 - 03:34:28 EST


Scaling the utilization of CPUs with irq util_avg in schedutil doesn't give
any benefit and just waste CPU cycles when irq time is not accounted but
only steal time.
Skip the irq scaling when irq time is not accounted
