Subject: [PATCH 0/2] sched/cahce: Document cache aware scheduling
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 10:21:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1794507151.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
This series adds the documentation for cache aware scheduling
(CONFIG_SCHED_CACHE) and fixes the migration decision tables in the
comment above can_migrate_llc().
Patch 1 adds Documentation/scheduler/sched-cache.rst, written in the
same style as sched-energy.rst. It explains the operation principles
of the scheduler and describes the debugfs tunables with tuning
guidance.
Patch 2 fixes the example tables in the comment above can_migrate_llc().
Several cells did not match what the function computes with the default
thresholds. The tables now use 45% instead of 40% so they also show the
imb_pct hysteresis. This is a comment-only change and is tagged for
stable so the comment matches the code in v7.2.y and v7.3.y.
