[ Upstream commit0ae78eec8a] If the task is pinned to a cpu, setting the misfit status means that we'll unnecessarily continuously attempt to migrate the task but fail. This continuous failure will cause the balance_interval to increase to a high value, and eventually cause unnecessary significant delays in balancing the system when real imbalance happens. Caught while testing uclamp where rt-app calibration loop was pinned to cpu 0, shortly after which we spawn another task with high util_clamp value. The task was failing to migrate after over 40ms of runtime due to balance_interval unnecessary expanded to a very high value from the calibration loop. Not done here, but it could be useful to extend the check for pinning to verify that the affinity of the task has a cpu that fits. We could end up in a similar situation otherwise.

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.
