From 13814d42e45dfbe845a0bbe5184565d9236896ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Galbraith Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:17:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Remove ASYM_GRAN feature This features has been enabled for quite a while, after testing showed that easing preemption for light tasks was harmful to high priority threads. Remove the feature flag.
