Why the imb_pct there? We're looking for 100% utilization, not 130 or
whatnot, right?
Having exactly 100% is quite difficult because of various rounding.

Could you give some examples about the various roundingï

So i have added a margin/threshold to prevent any excessive change of the state.
I have just to use the same margin/threshold than in other place in
load balance.

so the current threshold depends of the sched_level. it's around 14% at MC level

With the code as it stands, this is the cheaper test (no mults) so why
is it second?

+static inline bool
+group_is_overloaded(struct lb_env *env, struct sg_lb_stats *sgs)

+ if ((sgs->group_capacity * 100) <

+ return true;

+ return false;
}
Same thing here wrt imb_pct
