      sched: optimize group load balancer · ffda12a1
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      I noticed that tg_shares_up() unconditionally takes rq-locks for all cpus
      in the sched_domain. This hurts.
      
      We need the rq-locks whenever we change the weight of the per-cpu group sched
      entities. To allevate this a little, only change the weight when the new
      weight is at least shares_thresh away from the old value.
      
      This avoids the rq-lock for the top level entries, since those will never
      be re-weighted, and fuzzes the lower level entries a little to gain performance
      in semi-stable situations.
