sched: Call select_idle_sibling() when not affine_sd
On smaller systems, the top level sched domain will be an affine domain, and select_idle_sibling is invoked for every SD_WAKE_AFFINE wakeup. This seems to be working well. On larger systems, with the node distance between far away NUMA nodes being > RECLAIM_DISTANCE, select_idle_sibling is only called if the waker and the wakee are on nodes less than RECLAIM_DISTANCE apart. This patch leaves in place the policy of not pulling the task across nodes on such systems, while fixing the issue that select_idle_sibling is not called at all in certain circumstances. The code will look for an idle CPU in the same CPU package as the CPU where the task ran previously. Signed-off-by:Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:
