From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2014 15:00:21 +0000 (+0200) Subject: sched/fair: Make calculate_imbalance() independent X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=743cb1ff191f00fee653212bdbcee1e56086d6ce;p=linux-beck.git sched/fair: Make calculate_imbalance() independent Rik noticed that calculate_imbalance() relies on update_sd_pick_busiest() to guarantee that busiest->sum_nr_running > busiest->group_capacity_factor. Break this implicit assumption (with the intent of not providing it anymore) by having calculat_imbalance() verify it and not rely on others.
