We distinguish between SDF_SHARED_PARENT and SDF_SHARED_CHILD SD flags.

1 SD_FLAG(*SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY*, SDF_SHARED_PARENT | SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS)
2 SD_FLAG(SD_SERIALIZE, SDF_SHARED_PARENT | SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS)
3 SD_FLAG(SD_OVERLAP, SDF_SHARED_PARENT | SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS)
4 SD_FLAG(SD_NUMA, SDF_SHARED_PARENT | SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS)

1 SD_FLAG(SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE, SDF_SHARED_CHILD | SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS)
2 SD_FLAG(SD_BALANCE_EXEC, SDF_SHARED_CHILD | SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS)
3 SD_FLAG(SD_BALANCE_FORK, SDF_SHARED_CHILD | SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS)
4 SD_FLAG(SD_BALANCE_WAKE, SDF_SHARED_CHILD | SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS)
5 82 SD_FLAG(SD_WAKE_AFFINE, SDF_SHARED_CHILD)
6 SD_FLAG(SD_SHARE_CPUCAPACITY, SDF_SHARED_CHILD | SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS)
7 SD_FLAG(SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES, SDF_SHARED_CHILD | SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS)
8 SD_FLAG(SD_ASYM_PACKING, SDF_SHARED_CHILD | SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS)

We call lowest_flag_domain() on SDF_SHARED_PARENT and
highest_flag_domain() on SDF_SHARED_CHILD SD flags.

1 sd = lowest_flag_domain(cpu, SD_NUMA);
2 sd = lowest_flag_domain(cpu, *SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY*);

1 sd = highest_flag_domain(cpu, SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES);
2 sd = highest_flag_domain(cpu, SD_ASYM_PACKING);
