Subject: [RFC PATCH 16/16] sched/core: Set activation of non lock-holders to fast-path
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 06:29:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826062901.2137-17-kprateek.nayak@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826062901.2137-1-kprateek.nayak@amd.com>
Tasks with a 0 count in "p->lock_nesting" cannot resolve to a
__mutex_owner(). Set actiavations and blocking of these task to
fast-path (plain __activate_task()) to avoid the overheads.
