From 75f93fed50c2abadbab6ef546b265f51ca975b27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2013 17:30:03 +0200 Subject: sched: Revert need_resched() to look at TIF_NEED_RESCHED Yuanhan reported a serious throughput regression in his pigz benchmark. Using the ftrace patch I found that several idle paths need more TLC before we can switch the generic need_resched() over to preempt_need_resched. The preemption paths benefit most from preempt_need_resched and do indeed use it; all other need_resched() users don't really care that much so reverting need_resched() back to tif_need_resched() is the simple and safe solution.
