-1.8 What is sched_relax_domain_level ?
---------------------------------------
-
-In sched domain, the scheduler migrates tasks in 2 ways; periodic load
-balance on tick, and at time of some schedule events.
-
-When a task is woken up, scheduler try to move the task on idle CPU.
-For example, if a task A running on CPU X activates another task B
-on the same CPU X, and if CPU Y is X's sibling and performing idle,
-then scheduler migrate task B to CPU Y so that task B can start on
-CPU Y without waiting task A on CPU X.
-
-And if a CPU run out of tasks in its runqueue, the CPU try to pull
-extra tasks from other busy CPUs to help them before it is going to
-be idle.
-
-Of course it takes some searching cost to find movable tasks and/or
-idle CPUs, the scheduler might not search all CPUs in the domain
-everytime.  In fact, in some architectures, the searching ranges on
-events are limited in the same socket or node where the CPU locates,
-while the load balance on tick searchs all.
-
-For example, assume CPU Z is relatively far from CPU X.  Even if CPU Z
-is idle while CPU X and the siblings are busy, scheduler can't migrate
-woken task B from X to Z since it is out of its searching range.
-As the result, task B on CPU X need to wait task A or wait load balance
-on the next tick.  For some applications in special situation, waiting
-1 tick may be too long.
-
-The 'sched_relax_domain_level' file allows you to request changing
-this searching range as you like.  This file takes int value which
-indicates size of searching range in levels ideally as follows,
-otherwise initial value -1 that indicates the cpuset has no request.
-
-  -1  : no request. use system default or follow request of others.
-   0  : no search.
-   1  : search siblings (hyperthreads in a core).
-   2  : search cores in a package.
-   3  : search cpus in a node [= system wide on non-NUMA system]
- ( 4  : search nodes in a chunk of node [on NUMA system] )
- ( 5~ : search system wide [on NUMA system])
-
-This file is per-cpuset and affect the sched domain where the cpuset
-belongs to.  Therefore if the flag 'sched_load_balance' of a cpuset
-is disabled, then 'sched_relax_domain_level' have no effect since
-there is no sched domain belonging the cpuset.
-
-If multiple cpusets are overlapping and hence they form a single sched
-domain, the largest value among those is used.  Be careful, if one
-requests 0 and others are -1 then 0 is used.
-
-Note that modifying this file will have both good and bad effects,
-and whether it is acceptable or not will be depend on your situation.
-Don't modify this file if you are not sure.
-
-If your situation is:
- - The migration costs between each cpu can be assumed considerably
-   small(for you) due to your special application's behavior or
-   special hardware support for CPU cache etc.
- - The searching cost doesn't have impact(for you) or you can make
-   the searching cost enough small by managing cpuset to compact etc.
- - The latency is required even it sacrifices cache hit rate etc.
-then increasing 'sched_relax_domain_level' would benefit you.
