    sched/fair: Fix corner case in __accumulate_sum() · 05296e75
    Peter Zijlstra 提交于
    Paul noticed that in the (periods >= LOAD_AVG_MAX_N) case in
    __accumulate_sum(), the returned contribution value (LOAD_AVG_MAX) is
    incorrect.
    
    This is because at this point, the decay_load() on the old state --
    the first step in accumulate_sum() -- will not have resulted in 0, and
    will therefore result in a sum larger than the maximum value of our
    series. Obviously broken.
    
    Note that:
    
    	decay_load(LOAD_AVG_MAX, LOAD_AVG_MAX_N) =
    
                    1   (345 / 32)
    	47742 * - ^            = ~27
                    2
    
    Not to mention that any further contribution from the d3 segment (our
    new period) would also push it over the maximum.
    
    Solve this by noting that we can write our c2 term:
    
    		    p
    	c2 = 1024 \Sum y^n
    		   n=1
    
    In terms of our maximum value:
    
    		    inf		      inf	  p
    	max = 1024 \Sum y^n = 1024 ( \Sum y^n + \Sum y^n + y^0 )
    		    n=0		      n=p+1	 n=1
    
    Further note that:
    
               inf              inf            inf
            ( \Sum y^n ) y^p = \Sum y^(n+p) = \Sum y^n
               n=0              n=0            n=p
    
    Combined that gives us:
    
    		    p
    	c2 = 1024 \Sum y^n
    		   n=1
    
    		     inf        inf
    	   = 1024 ( \Sum y^n - \Sum y^n - y^0 )
    		     n=0        n=p+1
    
    	   = max - (max y^(p+1)) - 1024
    
    Further simplify things by dealing with p=0 early on.
