Subject: [PATCH 3 4/6] sched: Rename the variable sched_mc_preferred_wakeup_cpu
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:52:38 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090318092238.24787.6657.stgit@sofia.in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090318092054.24787.18730.stgit@sofia.in.ibm.com>
sched_mc_ preferred_wakeup_cpu is currently used when the user seeks
power savings through aggressive task consolidation.
This is applicable for both sched_mc_power_savings as well as
sched_smt_power_savings. So rename sched_mc_preferred_wakeup_cpu to
preferred_wakeup_cpu.
Also fix the comment for preferred_wakeup_cpu.
