    [PATCH] sched: remove staggering of load balancing · 4211a9a2
    Christoph Lameter authored
    Timer interrupts already are staggered.  We do not need an additional layer of
    time staggering for short load balancing actions that take a reasonably small
    portion of the time slice.
    
    For load balancing on large sched_domains we will add a serialization later
    that avoids concurrent load balance operations and thus has the same effect as
    load staggering.
