credit: generalize __vcpu_has_soft_affinity() As pointed out in the discussion of the patch at http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-02/msg03256.html generalizing the conditions here means code elsewhere doesn't need to take into consideration internals of how load balancing in the credit scheduler works. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Reviewed-by: George Dunlap --- v3: Swap soft and hard affinities in the 2nd of the 3 checks. Alter comment as requested by George (which made us notice the need for the code change, therefore retaining his review tag). v2: Use VCPU2ONLINE(vc) (or really an open coded variant thereof) instead of cpu_online_map (suggested by Dario). --- a/xen/common/sched_credit.c +++ b/xen/common/sched_credit.c @@ -279,24 +279,23 @@ __runq_remove(struct csched_vcpu *svc) /* * Hard affinity balancing is always necessary and must never be skipped. - * OTOH, if the vcpu's soft affinity is full (it spans all the possible - * pcpus) we can safely avoid dealing with it entirely. + * But soft affinity need only be considered when it has a functionally + * different effect than other constraints (such as hard affinity, cpus + * online, or cpupools). * - * A vcpu's soft affinity is also deemed meaningless in case it has empty - * intersection with mask, to cover the cases where using the soft affinity - * mask seems legit, but would instead led to trying to schedule the vcpu - * on _no_ pcpu!
