From 55d8538498f62ec72b5ba67aa386c7726f630475 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2008 12:23:15 -0700 Subject: Fix performance regression on lmbench select benchmark Christian Borntraeger reported that reinstating cond_resched() with CONFIG_PREEMPT caused a performance regression on lmbench: For example select file 500: 23 microseconds 32 microseconds and that's really because we totally unnecessarily do the cond_resched() in the innermost loop of select(), which is just silly. This moves it out from the innermost loop (which only ever loops ove the bits in a single "unsigned long" anyway), which makes the performance regression go away.
