Hi Martin,

it made an tremendous difference which still has to be tested out :)

Hi Ingo,

which adverse effect could

cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_wakeup_granularity_ns
0

have on the throughput ?

Concerning that "NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS" switch - isn't it as easy as to

do the following ? (I'm not sure if there's supposed to be another debug)

echo NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features

which after the change says:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS NO_NORMALIZED_SLEEPER ADAPTIVE_GRAN WAKEUP_PREEMPT
START_DEBIT AFFINE_WAKEUPS CACHE_HOT_BUDDY SYNC_WAKEUPS NO_HRTICK NO_DOUBLE_TICK
ASYM_GRAN LB_BIAS LB_WAKEUP_UPDATE ASYM_EFF_LOAD NO_WAKEUP_OVERLAP LAST_BUDDY
OWNER_SPIN

I hope that's the correct switch ^^

Greetings and please keep on improving the scheduler (especially with regards to
the desktop crowd)

Regards

Mat
