In this case, the imbalance field of the parent's sched_group is set. The description of sg_imbalanced() gives a typical example of two groups of 4 CPUs each and 4 tasks each with a cpumask covering 1 CPU of the first group and 3 CPUs of the second group. Something like: { 0 1 2 3 } { 4 5 6 7 } * * * * But the load_balance fails to fix this UC on my octo cores system made of 2 clusters of quad cores. Whereas the load_balance is able to detect that the imbalanced is due to CPU affinity, it fails to fix it because the imbalance field is cleared before letting parent level a chance to run. In fact, when the imbalance is detected, the load_balance reruns without the CPU with pinned tasks. But there is no other running tasks in the situation described above and everything looks balanced this time so the imbalance field is immediately cleared. The imbalance field should not be cleared if there is no other task to move when the imbalance is detected.
