Subject: sched: Enable idle balance to pull single task towards cpu with higher capacity
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=80a328fbece7b08e2c185ea8c1dc15b18b084abd;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-exynos.git

sched: Enable idle balance to pull single task towards cpu with higher capacity

We do not want to miss out on the ability to pull a single remaining
task from a potential source cpu towards an idle destination cpu. Add an
extra criteria to need_active_balance() to kick off active load balance
if the source cpu is over-utilized and has lower capacity than the
destination cpu.
