Subject: [PATCH v3 05/21] sched/cache: Assign preferred LLC ID to processes
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2026 14:18:45 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4a92b93edb669845e3bdca24c3ae3354b317c3eb.1770760558.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1770760558.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>

With cache-aware scheduling enabled, each task is assigned a
preferred LLC ID. This allows quick identification of the LLC domain
where the task prefers to run, similar to numa_preferred_nid in
NUMA balancing.

Signed-off-by: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>

Notes:
    v2->v3:
    Add comments around code handling NUMA balance conflict with cache aware
    scheduling. (Peter Zijlstra)
    
    Check if NUMA balancing is disabled before checking numa_preferred_nid
    (Jianyong Wu)
