From 92c4ca5c3a5e180e9762438db235f41d192cb955 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2007 17:16:33 -0700 Subject: sched: fix next_interval determination in idle_balance() The intervals of domains that do not have SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE must be considered for the calculation of the time of the next balance. Otherwise we may defer rebalancing forever. Siddha also spotted that the conversion of the balance interval to jiffies is missing. Fix that to. From: Srivatsa Vaddagiri also continue the loop if !(sd->flags & SD_LOAD_BALANCE). Tested-by: Paul E. McKenney It did in fact trigger under all three of mainline, CFS, and -rt including CFS -- see below for a couple of emails from last Friday giving results for these three on the AMD box (where it happened) and on a single-quad NUMA-Q system (where it did not, at least not with such severity).
