From 08c183f31bdbb709f177f6d3110d5f288ea33933 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2006 02:20:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched: add option to serialize load balancing Large sched domains can be very expensive to scan. Add an option SD_SERIALIZE to the sched domain flags. If that flag is set then we make sure that no other such domain is being balanced.
