This is what I argued. 1) coalesce policy choose the package. that is, coalesce policy happens before package0 is chosen. 2)Once the package0 is chosen, the left thing is choosing an idle cpu from this group, not using another hardware type(PGHW_POW_IDLE) to choose processor group again. So here, it's possible dispacher is going to choose T2 not T1. Please correct me if I'm wrong. > core0 should be chosen before core1 because T0 is not idle but > T2 & T3 are both idle.
