Subject: [PATCH] sched: fix underflow when doing fix_small_imbalance
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:56:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371542198-29879-1-git-send-email-leiwen@marvell.com> (raw)

Since sds->max_load, sds->this_load, scaled_busy_load_per_task are all
unsigned long type, so it make even sds->max_load less than
sds->this_load, the statement as below would still be true.

	(sds->max_load - sds->this_load + scaled_busy_load_per_task >=
                       (scaled_busy_load_per_task * imbn)

This would make load balance happen, even the busiest group's load is
less than local group's load...
