Subject: [PATCH 10/13] sched/numa: Prefer using an idle cpu as a migration target instead of comparing tasks
task_numa_find_cpu can scan a node multiple times. Minimally it scans to
gather statistics and later to find a suitable target. In some cases, the
second scan will simply pick an idle CPU if the load is not imbalanced.
This patch caches information on an idle core while gathering statistics
and uses it immediately if load is not imbalanced to avoid a second scan
of the node runqueues. Preference is given to an idle core rather than an
idle SMT sibling to avoid packing HT siblings due to linearly scanning the
node cpumask.
As a side-effect, even when the second scan is necessary, the importance
of using select_idle_sibling is much reduced because information on idle
CPUs is cached and can be reused.
Note that this patch actually makes is harder to move to an idle CPU
as multiple tasks can race for the same idle CPU due to a race checking
numa_migrate_on. This is addressed in the next patch.
