Subject: [uml-devel] [PATCH] load ave >= 1
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2005 21:42:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050727014243.GA14161@ccure.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)

The patch below might fix the ksoftirqd load average >= 1 problem.

I can't reproduce it, but in chasing it in one of Chris Aker's
non-debuggable images, I uncovered this bug.

Testing and feedback are welcome.

It's applied against my incrementals, but it should be easy to apply
in any other UML.
