From 7bfac470b517b18d496e96acc90be58353df2159 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2012 15:04:46 +0100 Subject: sched: Fix nohz load accounting -- again! MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit c308b56b5398779cd3da0f62ab26b0453494c3d4 upstream. [ backported to 3.0 by Kerin Millar ] 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.
