Subject: [RFC PATCH 8/9] sched: introduce per-cpu var next_cpu to track search limit
Date:   Fri, 30 Aug 2019 10:49:43 -0700
Message-Id: <20190830174944.21741-9-subhra.mazumdar@oracle.com>
In-Reply-To: <20190830174944.21741-1-subhra.mazumdar@oracle.com>
References: <20190830174944.21741-1-subhra.mazumdar@oracle.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Introduce a per-cpu variable to track the limit upto which idle cpu search
was done in select_idle_cpu(). This will help to start the search next time
from there. This is necessary for rotating the search window over entire
LLC domain.
