From c308b56b5398779cd3da0f62ab26b0453494c3d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2012 15:04:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix nohz load accounting -- again! MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Various people reported nohz load tracking still being wrecked, but Doug spotted the actual problem. We fold the nohz remainder in too soon, causing us to loose samples and under-account. So instead of playing catch-up up-front, always do a single load-fold with whatever state we encounter and only then fold the nohz remainder and play catch-up.
