Subject: [PATCH 2/2] sched:fix: Signed overflow prevention for vacancy calculation
Date: Thu, 23 May 2013 10:34:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1369298064-14998-2-git-send-email-l.majewski@samsung.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1369298064-14998-1-git-send-email-l.majewski@samsung.com>
Nasty bug with vacancy calculation has been fixed.
In the if statement the FULL_UTIL is a large constant, max_cfs_util()
returns unsigned and putil is also defined as unsigned. The outcome
is that this condition is always true.
As observed, this was the reason for frequent jumps of processes between
CPUs.
