Subject[PATCH 1/4] sched: do not consider SCHED_IDLE tasks to be cache hot
Date
This patch adds a check in task_hot to return if the task has SCHED_IDLE
policy. SCHED_IDLE tasks have very low weight, and when run with regular
workloads, are typically scheduled many milliseconds apart. There is no
need to consider these tasks hot for load balancing.
