The standard load balancer generally tries to keep the number of running tasks or idle CPUs balanced between NUMA domains. The NUMA balancer allows tasks to move if there is spare capacity but this causes a conflict and utilisation between NUMA nodes gets badly skewed. This patch uses similar logic between the NUMA balancer and load balancer when deciding if a task migrating to its preferred node can use an idle CPU.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
