From 184748cc50b2dceb8287f9fb657eda48ff8fcfe7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2011 17:23:39 +0200 Subject: sched: Provide scheduler_ipi() callback in response to smp_send_reschedule() For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on. In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI. This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and implements it as a NOP. BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!
