From 97220c6cedc6e7f54f4db5ea999e48a7b774b9d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wanpeng Li Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 18:32:45 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched/cputime: Fix prev steal time accouting during CPU hotplug MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit 3d89e5478bf550a50c99e93adf659369798263b0 upstream. Commit: e9532e69b8d1 ("sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting vs. CPU hotplug") ... set rq->prev_* to 0 after a CPU hotplug comes back, in order to fix the case where (after CPU hotplug) steal time is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time. However, this should never happen. Steal time was only smaller because of the KVM-specific bug fixed by the previous patch. Worse, the previous patch triggers a bug on CPU hot-unplug/plug operation: because rq->prev_steal_time is cleared, all of the CPU's past steal time will be accounted again on hot-plug. Since the root cause has been fixed, we can just revert commit e9532e69b8d1.
