Regarding to sched-decrease-number-of-load-balances.patch currently
in -mm tree: I would like to revert the change on adding lb_stopbalance
counter. This count can be calculated by: lb_balanced - lb_nobusyg -
lb_nobusyq. There is no need to create gazillion counters while we
can derive the value. I'm more of against changing sched-stat format
unless it is absolutely necessary as all user land tool parsing
/proc/schedstat needs to be updated and it's a real pain trying to keep
multiple versions of it.
