Hi,

I've noticed that there a quite a few users reporting excessive amounts
of "Rescheduling Interrupts" from multi core machines, and it seems
concerting that the scheduler is pulling the processors out of C3 states
rather a lot. In some cases, there are reports of >10,000 Rescheduling
Interrupts a second, which seems excessive.

The following rune apparently should help, but it does not make (much)
of a significant change:

  echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings

apparently this should reduce the number of cross-CPU wakeups on
near-idle systems.


Since it may be draining excessive amounts of power are there ideas if
this a scheduling problem and how to resolve this? 
Thanks,

Colin King
