[PATCH v3 07/13] sched: Enable SD_BALANCE_WAKE for asymmetric capacity systems

From: Morten Rasmussen
Date: Mon Jul 25 2016 - 09:35:29 EST


A domain with the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag set indicate that
sched_groups at this level and below do not include cpus of all
capacities available (e.g. group containing little-only or big-only cpus
in big.LITTLE systems). It is therefore necessary to put in more effort
in finding an appropriate cpu at task wake-up by enabling balancing at
wake-up (SD_BALANCE_WAKE) on all lower (child) levels.
