If the busiest group is group_misfit_task, it is totally valid for the runqueues to have a single running task - that's the CPU-bound task we want to upmigrate. If the busiest rq has only a single running task, we'll skip the detach_tasks() block and go straight to the active balance bits. Misfit balancing totally relies on this, and IMO ASYM_PACKING does too. Looking at voluntary_active_balance(), it seems your change also goes against the one added by 1aaf90a4b88a ("sched: Move CFS tasks to CPUs with higher capacity") The bandaid here would be gate this 'continue' with checks against the busiest_group_type, but that's only a loose link wrt voluntary_active_balance(). > if (busiest_util < util) { > busiest_util = util; > busiest = rq;
