Using asym_packing priorities within an SMT core is straightforward. Just follow the priorities that hardware indicates. When balancing load from an SMT core, also consider the idle state of its siblings. Priorities do not reflect that an SMT core divides its throughput among all its busy siblings. They only makes sense when exactly one sibling is busy. Indicate that active balance is needed if the destination CPU has lower priority than the source CPU but the latter has busy SMT siblings. Make find_busiest_queue() not skip higher-priority SMT cores with more than busy sibling.

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.
