I'll continue staring at it then ;-)
I just want to know what problem we're trying to solve..
Because it appears this is running 1 task each on a 'weird' subset of cpus and things going badly. If this really is the case, then teaching active balance to only move tasks to idle cpus or something should also cure things.
Also, I'm curious why people set such weird masks.
