Subject[PATCH] sched: Revert need_resched() to look at TIF_NEED_RESCHED
Subject: sched: Revert need_resched() to look at TIF_NEED_RESCHED
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Fri Sep 27 17:20:30 CEST 2013

Yuanhan reported a serious throughput regression in his pigz
benchmark. Using the ftrace patch I found that several idle paths
need more TLC before we can switch the generic need_resched() over to
preempt_need_resched.

The preemption paths benefit most from preempt_need_resched and do
indeed use it; all other need_resched() users don't really care that
much so reverting need_resched() back to tif_need_resched() is the
simple and safe solution.
