From 38736f475071b80b66be28af7b44c854073699cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gautham R Shenoy Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2008 14:50:23 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] sched: fix __load_balance_iterator() for cfq with only one task The __load_balance_iterator() returns a NULL when there's only one sched_entity which is a task. It is caused by the following code-path. /* Skip over entities that are not tasks */ do { se = list_entry(next, struct sched_entity, group_node); next = next->next; } while (next != &cfs_rq->tasks && !entity_is_task(se)); if (next == &cfs_rq->tasks) return NULL; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This will return NULL even when se is a task. As a side-effect, there was a regression in sched_mc behavior since 2.6.25, since iter_move_one_task() when it calls load_balance_start_fair(), would not get any tasks to move! Fix this by checking if the last entity was a task or not. Signed-off-by: Gautham R Shenoy Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- Reading git-format-patch failed
