Yep that was broken :(
Thanks for picking that up Suresh.

hm, the right fix i think is to do:

	for_each_domain(target_cpu, tmp) {
 		if ((tmp->flags & SD_LOAD_BALANCE) &&
			cpu_isset(busiest_cpu, tmp->span)) {
				sd = tmp;
 				break;
		}
	}


Your suggestion also looks similar to my patch. You are also breaking on the first one.


because when balancing we want to match the widest-scope domain, not the first one.


We want the first domain spanning both the cpu's. That is the domain where
normal load balance failed and we restore to active load balance.


Yes, that's right.
