Subject[patch] tunable rebalance rates for sched-2.5.59-B0
Date
Hi,

I'm currently scanning the parameter space of IDLE_NODE_REBALANCE_TICK
and BUSY_NODE_REBALANCE_TICK with the help of tunable rebalance
rates. The patch basically does:

-#define IDLE_NODE_REBALANCE_TICK (IDLE_REBALANCE_TICK * 2)
-#define BUSY_NODE_REBALANCE_TICK (BUSY_REBALANCE_TICK * 2)
+int idle_nodebalance_rate = 10;
+int busy_nodebalance_rate = 10;
+#define IDLE_NODE_REBALANCE_TICK (IDLE_REBALANCE_TICK * idle_nodebalance_rate)
+#define BUSY_NODE_REBALANCE_TICK (BUSY_REBALANCE_TICK * busy_nodebalance_rate)

and makes the variables accessible in /proc/sys/kernel

We might want to leave these tunable in case it turns out that
different platforms need significantly different values. Right now
it's just a tool for tuning.

Regards,
Erich
