Subject: [RFC][PATCH 6/8] sched/fair: Add newidle balance to pick_task_fair()
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 10:51:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317104343.103915618@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260317095113.387450089@infradead.org
With commit 50653216e4ff ("sched: Add support to pick functions to
take rf") removing the balance callback, the pick_task() callback is
in charge of newidle balancing.
This means pick_task_fair() should do so too. This hasn't been a
problem in practise because pick_next_task_fair() is used. However,
since we'll be removing that one shortly, make sure pick_next_task()
is up to scratch.
