[ Upstream commit3f130a37c4] When load_balance() fails to move some load because of task affinity, we end up increasing sd->balance_interval to delay the next periodic balance in the hopes that next time we look, that annoying pinned task(s) will be gone. However, idle_balance() pays no attention to sd->balance_interval, yet it will still lead to an increase in balance_interval in case of pinned tasks. If we're going through several newidle balances (e.g. we have a periodic task), this can lead to a huge increase of the balance_interval in a very small amount of time. To prevent that, don't increase the balance interval when going through a newidle balance. This is a similar approach to what is done in commit58b26c4c02("sched: Increment cache_nice_tries only on periodic lb"), where we disregard newidle balance and rely on periodic balance for more stable results.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
