From: Qais Yousef <qais.yousef@xxxxxxx> commit: aa69c36f31aadc1669bfa8a3de6a47b5e6c98ee8 upstream. We do consider thermal pressure in util_fits_cpu() for uclamp_min only. With the exception of the biggest cores which by definition are the max performance point of the system and all tasks by definition should fit. Even under thermal pressure, the capacity of the biggest CPU is the highest in the system and should still fit every task. Except when it reaches capacity inversion point, then this is no longer true. We can handle this by using the inverted capacity as capacity_orig in util_fits_cpu(). Which not only addresses the problem above, but also ensure uclamp_max now considers the inverted capacity. Force fitting a task when a CPU is in this adverse state will contribute to making the thermal throttling last longer.
