Callers of asym_smt_can_pull_tasks() check the idle state of the destination CPU and its SMT siblings, if any. No extra checks are needed in such function. Since SMT cores divide capacity among its siblings, priorities only really make sense if only one sibling is active. This is true for SMT2, SMT4, SMT8, etc. Do not use asym_packing load balance for this case. Instead, let find_busiest_group() handle imbalances. When balancing non-SMT cores or at higher scheduling domains (e.g., between MC scheduling groups), continue using priorities.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
