- * effective_load() calculates the load change as seen from the root_task_group
- *
- * Adding load to a group doesn't make a group heavier, but can cause movement
- * of group shares between cpus. Assuming the shares were perfectly aligned one
- * can calculate the shift in shares.
- *
- * Calculate the effective load difference if @wl is added (subtracted) to @tg
- * on this @cpu and results in a total addition (subtraction) of @wg to the
- * total group weight.
- *
- * Given a runqueue weight distribution (rw_i) we can compute a shares
- * distribution (s_i) using:
- *
- *   s_i = rw_i / \Sum rw_j						(1)
- *
- * Suppose we have 4 CPUs and our @tg is a direct child of the root group and
- * has 7 equal weight tasks, distributed as below (rw_i), with the resulting
- * shares distribution (s_i):
- *
- *   rw_i = {   2,   4,   1,   0 }
- *   s_i  = { 2/7, 4/7, 1/7,   0 }
- *
- * As per wake_affine() we're interested in the load of two CPUs (the CPU the
- * task used to run on and the CPU the waker is running on), we need to
- * compute the effect of waking a task on either CPU and, in case of a sync
- * wakeup, compute the effect of the current task going to sleep.
- *
- * So for a change of @wl to the local @cpu with an overall group weight change
- * of @wl we can compute the new shares distribution (s'_i) using:
- *
- *   s'_i = (rw_i + @wl) / (@wg + \Sum rw_j)				(2)
- *
- * Suppose we're interested in CPUs 0 and 1, and want to compute the load
- * differences in waking a task to CPU 0. The additional task changes the
- * weight and shares distributions like:
- *
- *   rw'_i = {   3,   4,   1,   0 }
- *   s'_i  = { 3/8, 4/8, 1/8,   0 }
- *
- * We can then compute the difference in effective weight by using:
- *
- *   dw_i = S * (s'_i - s_i)						(3)
- *
- * Where 'S' is the group weight as seen by its parent.
- *
- * Therefore the effective change in loads on CPU 0 would be 5/56 (3/8 - 2/7)
- * times the weight of the group. The effect on CPU 1 would be -4/56 (4/8 -
- * 4/7) times the weight of the group.
