[PATCH] sched: don't kick ALB in the presence of pinned task
Jack Steiner brought this issue at my OLS talk.
Take a scenario where two tasks are pinned to two HT threads in a physical
package. Idle packages in the system will keep kicking migration_thread on
the busy package with out any success.
We will run into similar scenarios in the presence of CMP/NUMA.
