[PATCH 2/6] sched: add a new SD SHARE_POWERLINE flag for sched_domain

Wed Dec 12 08:31:28 EST 2012


This new flag SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN is used to reflect whether groups of CPU in
a sched_domain level can or not reach a different power state. If clusters can
be power gated independently, as an example, the flag should be cleared at CPU
level. This information is used to decide if it's worth packing some tasks in
a group of CPUs in order to power gated the other groups instead of spreading
the tasks. The default behavior of the scheduler is to spread tasks so the
flag is set into all sched_domains
