From 79b578111febef642143669254b243ffbcf64ea9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2017 07:54:12 +1000 Subject: cpuidle: powernv: Don't bounce between low and very low thread priority The core of snooze_loop() continually bounces between low and very low thread priority. Changing thread priorities is an expensive operation that can negatively impact other threads on a core. All CPUs that can run PowerNV support very low priority, so we can avoid the change completely. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Reviewed-by: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
