+In kernel/sched.c, trigger_load_balance() is run periodically on each CPU
+through scheduler_tick(). It raises a softirq after the next regularly scheduled
+rebalancing event for the current runqueue has arrived. The actual load
+balancing workhorse, run_rebalance_domains()->rebalance_domains(), is then run
+in softirq context (SCHED_SOFTIRQ).
+
+The latter function takes two arguments: the current CPU and whether it was idle
+at the time the scheduler_tick() happened and iterates over all sched domains
+our CPU is on, starting from its base domain and going up the ->parent chain.
+While doing that, it checks to see if the current domain has exhausted its
+rebalance interval. If so, it runs load_balance() on that domain. It then checks
+the parent sched_domain (if it exists), and the parent of the parent and so

+Initially, load_balance() finds the busiest group in the current sched domain.
+If it succeeds, it looks for the busiest runqueue of all the CPUs' runqueues in
+that group. If it manages to find such a runqueue, it locks both our initial
+CPU's runqueue and the newly found busiest one and starts moving tasks from it
+to our runqueue. The exact number of tasks amounts to an imbalance previously
+computed while iterating over this sched domain's groups.
