[PATCH v3 11/12] sched: replace capacity_factor by utilization
Vincent Guittot

Mon Jun 30 09:05:42 PDT 2014
The scheduler tries to compute how many tasks a group of CPUs can handle by
assuming that a task's load is SCHED_LOAD_SCALE and a CPU capacity is
SCHED_POWER_SCALE.
We can have a better idea of the capacity of a group of CPUs and of the
utilization of this group thanks to the rework of group_power_orig and
group_utilization. We can deduct how many capacity is still available.
