Currently load_too_imbalance() cares about the slope of imbalance. It doesn't care of the direction of the imbalance. However this may not work if nodes that are being compared have dissimilar capacities. Few nodes might have more cores than other nodes in the system. Also unlike traditional load balance at a NUMA sched domain, multiple requests to migrate from the same source node to same destination node may run in parallel. This can cause huge load imbalance. This is specially true on a larger machines with either large cores per node or more number of nodes in the system. Hence allow move/swap only if the imbalance is going to reduce.

README
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
