[PATCH v3 7/7] sched/topology: Use prebuilt SD flag degeneration mask

From: Valentin Schneider
Date: Wed Jul 01 2020 - 15:07:41 EST


Leverage SD_DEGENERATE_GROUPS_MASK in sd_degenerate() and
sd_degenerate_parent().

Note that this changes sd_degenerate() somewhat: I'm using the negation of
SD_DEGENERATE_GROUPS_MASK as the mask of flags not requiring groups, which
is equivalent to:

SD_WAKE_AFFINE | SD_SERIALIZE | SD_NUMA

whereas the current mask for that is simply

SD_WAKE_AFFINE

I played with a few toy NUMA topologies on QEMU and couldn't cause a
different degeneration than what mainline does currently. If that is deemed
too risky, we can go back to using SD_WAKE_AFFINE explicitly.
