[PATCH v2 7/8] sched/fair: Do not compute overloaded status unnecessarily during lb

From: K Prateek Nayak
Date: Sun Dec 22 2024 - 23:41:25 EST


Only set sg_overloaded when computing sg_lb_stats() at the highest sched
domain since rd->overloaded status is updated only when load balancing
at the highest domain. While at it, move setting of sg_overloaded below
idle_cpu() check since an idle CPU can never be overloaded.
