From 5167e8d5417bf5c322a703d2927daec727ea40dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 15:52:09 +0200 Subject: sched/nohz: Rewrite and fix load-avg computation -- again Thanks to Charles Wang for spotting the defects in the current code: - If we go idle during the sample window -- after sampling, we get a negative bias because we can negate our own sample. - If we wake up during the sample window we get a positive bias because we push the sample to a known active period. So rewrite the entire nohz load-avg muck once again, now adding copious documentation to the code.
