Yes, it sounds ok.
Why is idle_enter_fair() called unconditionally in idle_balance() ?
Isn't the call in pick_next_task_idle enough ? Shouldn't be called when
we will go to idle effectively ?
If I am not wrong idle_enter_fair() is called from idle_balance() but a
task may be pulled, so we the next task won't be the idle task and
idle_exit_fair won't be called at put_prev_task.
May be I missed this change which was done at purpose in the previous
patchset you sent...
