Subject: Oops in find_busiest_group(): 2.6.8-rc1-mm1
Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2004 23:04:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1089871489.10000.388.camel@nighthawk> (raw)

Looks like 'find_busiest_group()::this' is null:

ctr = c0000000001527a8   xer = 0000000000000000   trap =      380

I put a little printk in:

        /* How much load to actually move to equalise the imbalance */
        if (!busiest || !this)
                printk("%s() busiest: %p this: %p\n", __func__, busiest, this);
        *imbalance = (*imbalance * min(busiest->cpu_power, this->cpu_power))
                                / SCHED_LOAD_SCALE;

And sure enough, this showed up on the console:

find_busiest_group() busiest: c00000000050d180 this: 0000000000000000

This code also looks funny to begin with:

>                 if (local_group) {
>                         this_load = avg_load;
>                         this = group;
>                         goto nextgroup;
>                 } else if (avg_load > max_load) {
>                         max_load = avg_load;
>                         busiest = group;
>                 }
> nextgroup:
>                 group = group->next;
>         } while (group != sd->groups);

Why bother with the 'goto nextgroup;'?  Shouldn't the first if block
just fall through to the target of the goto anyway?
