Did you mean: rq_i->core_pick == rq_i->idle ?

is_idle_task() will also match idle-injection threads, which I'm not
sure we want here.
Thanks for catching this. You are right, we should be checking for
rq_i->idle. There are couple other places where we use is_idle_task.
Will go through them and verify if we need to fix there as well.

Thanks,
