Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 2/2] sched:Pick the apt busy sched group during load
 balancing

Hi everyone,

The figures SCHED_GRP1:3200 and SCHED_GRP2:1156 shown below in the
changelog is the probable figure as calculated with the per-entity-
load-tracking metric for the runqueue load.

> If a sched group has passed the test for sufficient load in
> update_sg_lb_stats,to qualify for load balancing,then PJT's
> metrics has to be used to qualify the right sched group as the busiest group.

> The scenario which led to this patch is shown below:
> Consider Task1 and Task2 to be a long running task
> and Tasks 3,4,5,6 to be short running tasks

> 			Task3
> 			Task4
> Task1			Task5
> Task2			Task6
> ------			------
> SCHED_GRP1		SCHED_GRP2
