Subject: [PATCH 10/19] sched/fair: Prioritize tasks preferring destination LLC during balancing
Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2025 11:24:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ca1946de63ad9f0ae99e079a74d70c55879cc0b6.1760206683.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1760206683.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>
During LLC load balancing, first check for tasks that prefer the
destination LLC and balance them to it before others.
Mark source sched groups containing tasks preferring non local LLCs
with the group_llc_balance flag. This ensures the load balancer later
pulls or pushes these tasks toward their preferred LLCs.
