Subject: [PATCH 04/19] sched/fair: Introduce a static key to enable cache aware only for multi LLCs
Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2025 11:24:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ef136e6a6f5a2ef840b1f9571c47411f04705b6a.1760206683.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1760206683.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>
From: Chen Yu <yu.c.chen@intel.com>
Enable cache-aware load balancing only if at least 1 NUMA node has
more than one LLC.
