[RFC PATCH v3 13/13] sched/fair: Switch nohz.idle_cpus to use sbm

flat view
WARM3d

From: K Prateek Nayak <kprateek.nayak@amd.com>
Date: 2026-10-01 19:34:22
Also in: driver-core, linux-arch, linux-mips, linux-s390, lkml, loongarch
Subsystem: scheduler, the rest · Maintainers: Ingo Molnar, Peter Zijlstra, Juri Lelli, Vincent Guittot, Linus Torvalds

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

With sbm infrastructure in place, convert the global nohz.idle_cpus
cpumask to use sparsebitmap (sbm).

  [ prateek: Used sbm_for_each_bit_wrap(), and adapted find_new_ilb() to
    the current SMT aware scheme. ]
