Hmm good question. phantom domains didn't die which I think is what causing this. I can look if this is for a good reason or just historical artifact.

I meant one core. So in my case all the littles were busy except for one that was mostly idle and never pulled a task from mid where two tasks were stuck on a CPU there. And the logs I have added were showing me that the env->imbalance was on 150+ range but the task we pull was in the 350+ range.
I should have mentioned that I'm on 5.15 - sorry with Android it's hard to run mainline on products :( But this code as far as I can tell hasn't changed much.
I can try to find something that runs mainline and reproduce there if you think my description of the problem is not clear or applicable.
Thanks
