[PATCH 03/10] sched/balancing: Change 'enum cpu_idle_type' to have more natural definitions

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Fri Mar 08 2024 - 06:00:25 EST


The cpu_idle_type enum has the confusingly inverted property
that 'not idle' is 1, and 'idle' is '0'.

This resulted in a number of unnecessary complications in the code.

Reverse the order, remove the CPU_NOT_IDLE type, and convert
all code to a natural boolean form.

It's much more readable:

- enum cpu_idle_type idle = this_rq->idle_balance ?
- CPU_IDLE : CPU_NOT_IDLE;
-
+ enum cpu_idle_type idle = this_rq->idle_balance;

--------------------------------

- if (env->idle == CPU_NOT_IDLE || !busiest->sum_nr_running)
+ if (!env->idle || !busiest->sum_nr_running)

--------------------------------

And gets rid of the double negation in these usages:

- if (env->idle != CPU_NOT_IDLE && env->src_rq->nr_running <= 1)
+ if (env->idle && env->src_rq->nr_running <= 1)

Furthermore, this makes code much more obvious where there's
differentiation between CPU_IDLE and CPU_NEWLY_IDLE.
