Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Return the busiest group only if imbalance is meaningful
Date:   Wed,  6 Apr 2022 19:23:24 +0800
Message-Id: <1649244204-23471-1-git-send-email-zgpeng@tencent.com>
Precedence: bulk

When calculate_imbalance function calculate the imbalance, it may
actually get a negative number. In this case, it is meaningless to
return the so-called busiest group and continue to search for the
busiest cpu later. Therefore, only when the imbalance is greater
than 0 should return the busiest group, otherwise return NULL.
