From 6cdd5199daf0cb7b0fcc8dca941af08492612887 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Venkatesh Pallipadi Date: Mon, 4 Oct 2010 17:03:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Add a PF flag for ksoftirqd identification To account softirq time cleanly in scheduler, we need to identify whether softirq is invoked in ksoftirqd context or softirq at hardirq tail context. Add PF_KSOFTIRQD for that purpose. As all PF flag bits are currently taken, create space by moving one of the infrequently used bits (PF_THREAD_BOUND) down in task_struct to be along with some other state fields.
