sched,fair: skip newidle_balance if a wakeup is pending
The try_to_wake_up function has an optimization where it can queue a task for wakeup on its previous CPU, if the task is still in the middle of going to sleep inside schedule(). Once schedule() re-enables IRQs, the task will be woken up with an IPI, and placed back on the runqueue. If we have such a wakeup pending, there is no need to search other CPUs for runnable tasks. Just skip (or bail out early from) newidle balancing, and run the just woken up task. For a memcache like workload test, this reduces total CPU use by about 2%, proportionally split between user and system time, and p99 and p95 application response time by 2-3% on average. The schedstats run_delay number shows a similar improvement. Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com>
