The following commit has been merged into the sched/core branch of tip: Commit-ID: c829d6818b60c591f70c060b2bb75d76cf0cec6d Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/c829d6818b60c591f70c060b2bb75d76cf0cec6d Author: Shrikanth Hegde <sshegde@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Mon, 25 Mar 2024 21:09:26 +05:30 Committer: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Tue, 26 Mar 2024 20:16:20 +01:00 sched/fair: Simplify the continue_balancing logic in sched_balance_newidle() newidle(CPU_NEWLY_IDLE) balancing doesn't stop the load-balancing if the continue_balancing flag is reset, but the other two balancing (IDLE, BUSY) cases do that. newidle balance stops the load balancing if rq has a task or there is wakeup pending. The same checks are present in should_we_balance for newidle. Hence use the return value and simplify continue_balancing mechanism for newidle. Update the comment surrounding it as well. No change in functionality intended.
