Thanks for that!

Should this be

sgs->group_misfit_task_load = 1

to indicate it doesn't fit?

So we clear the flag if there's any cpu that fits, I think that should work,
yes and much better too. I got tunneled visioned and didn't take a step back to
look at the big picture. Thanks for the suggestion :-)

I think we can make it more efficient by checking if
sgs->group_misfit_task_load is set

/* Check if task fits in the CPU */
if (sd->flags & SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY &&
sgs->group_misfit_task_load &&
task_fits_cpu(p, i))
sgs->group_misfit_task_load = 0;

which will avoid calling task_fits_cpu() repeatedly if we got a hit already.


Thanks!
