From a2d477778e82a60a0b7114cefdb70aa43af28782 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Balbir Singh Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:19:00 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] sched: fix stale value in average load per task Impact: fix load balancer load average calculation accuracy cpu_avg_load_per_task() returns a stale value when nr_running is 0. It returns an older stale (caculated when nr_running was non zero) value. This patch returns and sets rq->avg_load_per_task to zero when nr_running is 0. Compile and boot tested on a x86_64 box.
