So, change the decision matrix to: busiest \ local has_spare fully_busy misfit asym imbalanced overloaded has_spare nr_idle balanced N/A N/A balanced balanced fully_busy nr_idle nr_idle N/A N/A balanced balanced misfit_task force N/A N/A N/A *N/A* *N/A* asym_packing force force N/A N/A force force imbalanced force force N/A N/A force force overloaded force force N/A N/A force avg_load Fixes: 0b0695f2b34a ("sched/fair: Rework load_balance()") Signed-off-by: Tao Zhou <tao.zhou@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@xxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220415095505.7765-1-tao.zhou@xxxxxxxxx --- kernel/sched/fair.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched/fair.c b/kernel/sched/fair.c index 3eba0dc..4c42012 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/fair.c +++ b/kernel/sched/fair.c @@ -9496,7 +9496,7 @@ static inline void calculate_imbalance(struct lb_env *env, struct sd_lb_stats *s * busiest \ local has_spare fully_busy misfit asym imbalanced overloaded * has_spare nr_idle balanced N/A N/A balanced balanced * fully_busy nr_idle nr_idle N/A N/A balanced balanced - * misfit_task force N/A N/A N/A force force + * misfit_task force N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A * asym_packing force force N/A N/A force force * imbalanced force force N/A N/A force force * overloaded force force N/A N/A force avg_load
