Subject: [RFC PATCH v5 7/7] sched: idle_balance() does not call load_balance_newidle()
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2008 23:13:23 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081211174323.2020.97965.stgit@drishya.in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081211173831.2020.57550.stgit@drishya.in.ibm.com>
load_balance_newidle() does not get called if SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE
is set at higher level domain (3-CPU) and not in low level domain
(2-MC).
pulled_task is initialised to -1 and checked for non-zero which
is always true if the lowest level sched_domain does not have
SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE flag set.
Trivial fix to initialise pulled_task to zero.
