[PATCH v4 2/6] sched/fair: Also gate overloaded status update for SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY

From: Ricardo Neri

Date: Mon Jun 08 2026 - 08:52:55 EST


The argument sg_overloaded of update_sg_lb_stats() is only consumed when
balancing at the root domain. It only makes sense to update it in such a
case. Commit 3229adbe7875 ("sched/fair: Do not compute overloaded status
unnecessarily during lb") updated the logic accordingly but missed the case
in which the root domain has the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag. Fix this.

Fixes: 3229adbe7875 ("sched/fair: Do not compute overloaded status unnecessarily during lb")
