task_numa_find_cpu() helps to find the CPU to swap/move the task to. It's guarded by numa_has_capacity(). However node not having capacity shouldn't deter a task swapping if it helps NUMA placement. Further load_too_imbalanced(), which evaluates possibilities of move/swap, provides similar checks as numa_has_capacity. Hence remove numa_has_capacity() to enhance possibilities of task swapping even if load is imbalanced.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
