[RFCv3 PATCH 43/48] sched: Introduce energy awareness into detach_tasks

From: Morten Rasmussen
Date: Wed Feb 04 2015 - 13:32:58 EST


From: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@xxxxxxx>

Energy-aware load balancing does not rely on env->imbalance but instead it
evaluates the system-wide energy difference for each task on the src rq by
potentially moving it to the dst rq. If this energy difference is lesser
than zero the task is actually moved from src to dst rq.
