From 74f5187ac873042f502227701ed1727e7c5fbfa9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 21:50:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Cure load average vs NO_HZ woes Chase reported that due to us decrementing calc_load_task prematurely (before the next LOAD_FREQ sample), the load average could be scewed by as much as the number of CPUs in the machine. This patch, based on Chase's patch, cures the problem by keeping the delta of the CPU going into NO_HZ idle separately and folding that in on the next LOAD_FREQ update. This restores the balance and we get strict LOAD_FREQ period samples.
