From a65ac745e47e91f9d98dbf07f22ed0492e34d998 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jupyung Lee Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:51:40 +0900 Subject: sched: Move update_curr() in check_preempt_wakeup() to avoid redundant call If a RT task is woken up while a non-RT task is running, check_preempt_wakeup() is called to check whether the new task can preempt the old task. The function returns quickly without going deeper because it is apparent that a RT task can always preempt a non-RT task. In this situation, check_preempt_wakeup() always calls update_curr() to update vruntime value of the currently running task. However, the function call is unnecessary and redundant at that moment because (1) a non-RT task can always be preempted by a RT task regardless of its vruntime value, and (2) update_curr() will be called shortly when the context switch between two occurs. By moving update_curr() in check_preempt_wakeup(), we can avoid redundant call to update_curr(), slightly reducing the time taken to wake up RT tasks.
