sched: Fix select_idle_sibling() logic in select_task_rq_fair()
Issues in the current select_idle_sibling() logic in select_task_rq_fair()
in the context of a task wake-up:
a) Once we select the idle sibling, we use that domain (spanning the cpu that
the task is currently woken-up and the idle sibling that we found) in our
wake_affine() decisions. This domain is completely different from the
domain(we are supposed to use) that spans the cpu that the task currently
woken-up and the cpu where the task previously ran.
b) We do select_idle_sibling() check only for the cpu that the task is
currently woken-up on. If select_task_rq_fair() selects the previously run
cpu for waking the task, doing a select_idle_sibling() check
for that cpu also helps and we don't do this currently.
c) In the scenarios where the cpu that the task is woken-up is busy but
with its HT siblings are idle, we are selecting the task be woken-up
on the idle HT sibling instead of a core that it previously ran
and currently completely idle. i.e., we are not taking decisions based on
wake_affine() but directly selecting an idle sibling that can cause
an imbalance at the SMT/MC level which will be later corrected by the
periodic load balancer.
Fix this by first going through the load imbalance calculations using
wake_affine() and once we make a decision of woken-up cpu vs previously-ran cpu,
then choose a possible idle sibling for waking up the task on.
