A long-tail load balance cost is observed on the newly idle path, this is caused by a race window between the first nr_running check of the busiest runqueue and its nr_running recheck in detach_tasks. Before the busiest runqueue is locked, the tasks on the busiest runqueue could be pulled by other CPUs and nr_running of the busiest runqueu becomes 1 or even 0 if the running task becomes idle, this causes detach_tasks breaks with LBF_ALL_PINNED flag set, and triggers load_balance redo at the same sched_domain level. In order to find the new busiest sched_group and CPU, load balance will recompute and update the various load statistics, which eventually leads to the long-tail load balance cost. This patch clears LBF_ALL_PINNED flag for this race condition, and hence reduces the long-tail cost of newly idle balance.

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.
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.
