From 08bedae1d0acd8c9baf514fb69fa199d0c8345f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2012 00:03:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix load avg vs. cpu-hotplug Commit f319da0c68 ("sched: Fix load avg vs cpu-hotplug") was an incomplete fix: In particular, the problem is that at the point it calls calc_load_migrate() nr_running := 1 (the stopper thread), so move the call to CPU_DEAD where we're sure that nr_running := 0. Also note that we can call calc_load_migrate() without serialization, we know the state of rq is stable since its cpu is dead, and we modify the global state using appropriate atomic ops.
