Subject: [PATCH v4 01/11] sched/fair: clean up asym packing
Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2019 15:26:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1571405198-27570-2-git-send-email-vincent.guittot@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1571405198-27570-1-git-send-email-vincent.guittot@linaro.org>
Clean up asym packing to follow the default load balance behavior:
- classify the group by creating a group_asym_packing field.
- calculate the imbalance in calculate_imbalance() instead of bypassing it.
We don't need to test twice same conditions anymore to detect asym packing
and we consolidate the calculation of imbalance in calculate_imbalance().
There is no functional changes.
