Subject: [PATCH] ondemand: add a check to avoid negative load calculation
Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2007 14:24:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070620212451.GB2109@linux-os.sc.intel.com> (raw)
Due to rounding and inexact jiffy accounting, idle_ticks can sometimes
be higher than total_ticks. Make sure those cases are handled as
zero load case.
