Subject: sched/balancing: Periodically decay max cost of idle balance
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f48627e686a69f5215cb0761e731edb3d9859dd9;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

sched/balancing: Periodically decay max cost of idle balance

This patch builds on patch 2 and periodically decays that max value to
do idle balancing per sched domain by approximately 1% per second. Also
decay the rq's max_idle_balance_cost value.
