Subject: sched: fair-group: fix a Div0 error of the fair group scheduler
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cb4ad1ffc7c0d8ea7dc8cd8ba303d83551716d46;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

sched: fair-group: fix a Div0 error of the fair group scheduler

When I echoed 0 into the "cpu.shares" file, a Div0 error occured.

We found it is caused by the following calling.

   sched_group_set_shares(tg, shares)
       set_se_shares(tg->se[i], shares/nr_cpu_ids)
           __set_se_shares(se, shares)
               div64_64((1ULL<<32), shares)

When the echoed value was less than the number of processores, the result of the
sentence "shares/nr_cpu_ids" was 0, and then the system called div64() to divide
the result, the Div0 error occured.

It is unnecessary that the shares value is divided by nr_cpu_ids, I think.
Because in the function  __update_group_shares_cpu() and init_tg_cfs_entry(),
the shares value isn't divided by nr_cpu_ids when setting shares of the sched
entity.

This patch fixes this bug. And echoing ULONG_MAX value into cpu.shares also
causes Div0 error, so we set a macro MAX_SHARES to limit the max value of
shares.
