Will do that. After some thought, I am planning to impose the following additional constraints on how sched_load_balance works in v2. 1) sched_load_balance will be made hierarchical, the child will inherit the flag from its parent. 2) cpu_exclusive will be implicitly associated with sched_load_balance. IOW, sched_load_balance => !cpu_exclusive, and !sched_load_balance => cpu_exclusive. 3) sched_load_balance cannot be 1 on a child if it is 0 on the parent. With these changes, sched_load_balance will have to be set by the parent and so will not be delegatable. Please let me know your thought on that.
