From 51e0304ce6e55a6e59658558916b4f74da085ff0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 08:54:45 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Implement a gentler fair-sleepers feature Add back FAIR_SLEEPERS and GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS. FAIR_SLEEPERS is the old logic: credit sleepers with their sleep time. GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS dampens this a bit: 50% of their sleep time gets credited. The hope here is to still give the benefits of fair-sleepers logic (quick wakeups, etc.) while not allow them to have 100% of their sleep time as if they were running.
