From 7736ae5572eb344c090fbef9621a228e7e3d6276 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Guittot Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2023 17:16:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Remove SCHED_FEAT(UTIL_EST_FASTUP, true) sched_feat(UTIL_EST_FASTUP) has been added to easily disable the feature in order to check for possibly related regressions. After 3 years, it has never been used and no regression has been reported. Let's remove it and make fast increase a permanent behavior.
