Well from the code nobody but us (asymmetric capacity systems) set
SD_BALANCE_WAKE. I was however curious if there were some folks who set it
with out of tree code for some reason.
As Dietmar said, not having SD_BALANCE_WAKE means you'll never go through
the slow path on wakeups, because there is no domain with SD_BALANCE_WAKE for
the domain loop to find. Depending on your topology you most likely will
go through it on fork or exec though.
IOW wake_wide() is not really widening the wakeup scan on wakeups using
mainline topology code (disregarding asymmetric capacity systems), which
sounds a bit... off.
