[PATCH] sched: relax pinned balancing
The maximum rebalance interval allowed by the multiprocessor balancing
backoff is often not large enough to handle corner cases where there are
lots of tasks pinned on a CPU. Suresh reported:
I see system livelock's if for example I have 7000 processes
pinned onto one cpu (this is on the fastest 8-way system I
have access to).
After this patch, the machine is reported to go well above this number.
