Wait, so imbalance_max is a function only of
env->sd->imbalance_pct, and it gets compared
against busiest->sum_nr_running, which is related
to the number of CPUs in the node?

Lets see how this works out for different numbers
of CPUs in each node.

With imbalance_pct == 115, we end up with
imbalance_adj = (100 / (115 - 100)) - 1 = 0.18,
which gets rounded down to 0.

Wait, never mind the different numbers of CPUs.

Am I overlooking something, or did you mean to have
a factor of number of CPUs in the imbalance_adj
calculation?

kind regards,

Rik
