Hi Preeti,
Here is one of the potential issues that have been described from my
understanding.
In situations where there are just a few tasks to pull (for example,
there's 1 task to move).
Before, if CPU 1 calls run_rebalance_domains(), we'll pull the tasks to
this CPU 1 (which is already awake) and run the task on CPU 1.
Now, we'll pull the task to some idle CPU 2 and wake up CPU 2 in order
for the task to run. Meanwhile, CPU 1 may go idle, instead of running
the task on CPU 1 which was already awake.
