From 650fb8382287f7990d5127a82a54295139224606 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Krzysztof Helt Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2006 22:03:43 -0700 Subject: [SPARC]: Migration cost tune up in sparc smp. This patch sets the max_cache_size value required to tune up scheduler in SMP systems. Otherwise, the calculated migration_cost is too high and task scheduling may lock up.
