Using balance() was my suggestion to stay within the current framework. If we want to add @rf to pick_task(), that's more fundamental change. We dropped the discussion in the other thread but I found it odd to add @rf to pick_task() while disallowing the use of @rf in non-dl-server pick path and if we want to allow that, we gotta solve the race between pick_task() dropping rq lock and the ttwu inserting high pri task.
