Hello,

Please consider this patch. It makes a few minor changes to

sched: Minor optimizations in wake_affine and select_task_rq_fair

This patch does following:
o Reduces the number of arguments to wake_affine().

At what point is it cheaper to pass items as args rather than recalculating them? If reducing the number of args is desirable, what about removing the "this_cpu" and "prev_cpu" args and recalculating them in wake_affine()?
