X-Git-Tag: archive/raspbian/4.11.1-1+rpi1~1^2~66^2~2262
X-Git-Url: https://dgit.raspbian.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=afb077334f6c225bc2eaa3885a09d3dedb381c87;p=xen.git

xen: credit: (micro) optimize csched_runq_steal().

Checking whether or not a vCPU can be 'stolen'
from a peer pCPU's runqueue is relatively cheap.

Therefore, let's do that  as early as possible,
avoiding potentially useless complex checks, and
cpumask manipulations.
