Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Remove idle_balance() declaration in sched.h

The idle_balance() function is called within a #ifdef CONFIG_SMP section.

Remove its declaration in sched.h for !CONFIG_SMP because it is pointless.

The below again makes a horrible mess of idle_balance() -- which you
tried to clean up.. but it does rid us of some #ifdef goo.

Hmmm?

Yes, it sounds ok.

Why is idle_enter_fair() called unconditionally in idle_balance() ?
Isn't the call in pick_next_task_idle enough ? Shouldn't be called when
we will go to idle effectively ?

If I am not wrong idle_enter_fair() is called from idle_balance() but a
task may be pulled, so we the next task won't be the idle task and
idle_exit_fair won't be called at put_prev_task.

May be I missed this change which was done at purpose in the previous
patchset you sent...

I seem to be terminally confused on the subject, but Vincent explains it
there I think.

sched/fair: Remove idle_balance() declaration in sched.h

Remove idle_balance() from the public life; also reduce some #ifdef
clutter by folding the pick_next_task_fair() idle path into
idle_balance().
