[RFC tg_shares_up improvements - v1 02/12] sched: on-demand (active) cfs_rq list

From: pjt
Date: Sat Oct 16 2010 - 00:53:55 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>

Make certain load-balance actions scale per number of active cgroups
instead of the number of existing cgroups.

This makes wakeup/sleep paths more expensive, but is a win for systems
where the vast majority of existing cgroups are idle.
