[PATCH] sched: filter affine wakeups
) From: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Track the last waker CPU, and only consider wakeup-balancing if there's a match between current waker CPU and the previous waker CPU. This ensures that there is some correlation between two subsequent wakeup events before we move the task. Should help random-wakeup workloads on large SMP systems, by reducing the migration attempts by a factor of nr_cpus.
