> I'll launch some tests with this version on Sapphire Rapids(and with/without LLC-split hack patch).
Tested on Sapphire Rapids, which has 2 x 56C/112T and 224 CPUs in total. C-states
deeper than C1E are disabled. Turbo is disabled. CPU frequency governor is performance.
The baseline is v6.4-rc1 tip:sched/core, on top of
commit 637c9509f3db ("sched/core: Avoid multiple calling update_rq_clock() in __cfsb_csd_unthrottle()")
patch0: this SD_IDLE_SIBLING patch with above change to TOPOLOGY_SD_FLAGS
patch1: hack patch to split 1 LLC domain into 4 smaller LLC domains(with some fixes on top of
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ZJKjvx%2FNxooM5z1Y@chenyu5-mobl2.ccr.corp.intel.com/)
The test data in above link is invalid due to bugs in the hack patch, fixed in this version)
Baseline vs Baseline+patch0:
There is no much difference between the two, and it is expected because Sapphire Rapids
does not have multiple LLC domains within 1 Numa node(also consider the run to run variation):

Baseline+patch1 vs Baseline+patch0+patch1:
With multiple LLC domains in 1 Numa node, SD_IDLE_SIBLING brings improvement
to hackbench/schbench, while brings downgrading to netperf/tbench. This is aligned
with what was observed previously, if the waker and wakee wakes up each other
frequently, they would like to be put together for cache locality. While for
other tasks do not have shared resource, always choosing an idle CPU is better.
Maybe in the future we can look back at SIS_SHORT and terminates scan in
select_idle_node() if the waker and wakee have close relationship with
each other.

But since the multiple LLC is just a simulation on Intel platform for now,
the patch is ok and:
