Subject: [PATCH 3/4] sched/fair: Enable EAS with SMT on SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY systems
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 16:02:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326151211.1862600-4-arighi@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326151211.1862600-1-arighi@nvidia.com>

Drop the sched_is_eas_possible() guard that rejects EAS whenever SMT is
active. This allows to enable EAS and perf-domain setup to succeed on
SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY topologies with SMT enabled.

Moreover, apply to find_energy_efficient_cpu() the same SMT-aware
preference as the non-EAS wakeup path: when SMT is active and there is a
fully-idle core in the relevant domain, prefer max-spare-capacity
candidates on fully-idle cores. Otherwise, fall back to the prior
behavior, to include also partially-idle SMT siblings.
