Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] sched/fair: Introduce priority load balance to reduce
interference from IDLE tasks

Considering the large weight difference between normal and idle tasks,
does the re-ordering really change things? It would be helpful if you
can offer more detailed info.

The Reported-by tag is usually used for reporting a bug in the mainline
kernel, and build error of your patch is not one of them :)

The tg_is_idle() doesn't have hierarchical judgement on parent task
groups, while rq->cfs{,_idle}_tasks is rq wide. Say A->B where tgA
is idle and tgB isn't, a task from B will be added to the non-idle
list, is this what you want?

Same as above. But I am not sure this is the right way to do it. We
still want to maintain policy behavior inside an idle task group.

Maybe a boolean variable is enough (and more readable)?
