Currently, SD_WAKE_AFFINE always takes priority over wakeup balancing if
SD_BALANCE_WAKE is set on the sched_domains. For asymmetric
configurations SD_WAKE_AFFINE is only desirable if the waking task's
compute demand (utilization) is suitable for the waking cpu and the
previous cpu, and all cpus within their respective
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES domains (sd_llc). If not, let wakeup balancing
take over (find_idlest_{group, cpu}()).

This patch makes affine wake-ups conditional on whether both the waker
cpu and prev_cpu has sufficient capacity for the waking task, or not,
assuming that the cpu capacities within an SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES domain
(sd_llc) are homogeneous.

Thanks.

I hadn't considered that. What is 'working right' in this scenario?
Ignoring @prev_cpu as it isn't a valid option anymore?

In that case, since @prev_cpu is only used as part the min() it should
only cause min_cap to be potentially smaller than it should be, not
larger. It could lead us to let BALANCE_WAKE take over in scenarios
where select_idle_sibling() would have been sufficient, but it should
harm.

However, as you say, I'm not sure if we care that much.

Talking about @rd, I discussed with Juri and Dietmar the other week
whether the root_domain is RCU protected, and if we therefore have to
move the call to wake_cap() after the rcu_read_lock() below. I haven't
yet done thorough investigation to find the answer. Should it be
protected?

Yes :)

Okay. Should I send an updated version?
