sched: Allow newidle balancing to bail out of load_balance
While doing newidle load balancing, it is possible for new tasks to arrive, such as with pending wakeups. newidle_balance() already accounts for this by exiting the sched_domain load_balance() iteration if it detects these cases. This is very important for minimizing wakeup latency. However, if we are already in load_balance(), we may stay there for a while before returning back to newidle_balance(). This is most exacerbated if we enter a 'goto redo' loop in the LBF_ALL_PINNED case. A very straightforward workaround to this is to adjust should_we_balance() to bail out if we're doing a CPU_NEWLY_IDLE balance and new tasks are detected. This was tested with the following reproduction: - two threads that take turns sleeping and waking each other up are affined to two cores - a large number of threads with 100% utilization are pinned to all other cores Without this patch, wakeup latency was ~120us for the pair of threads, almost entirely spent in load_balance(). With this patch, wakeup latency is ~6us.
