[PATCH 28/30] sched: correct wakeup weight calculations

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

[-- Attachment #1: sched-effective_load.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3792 bytes --]

rw_i = {2, 4, 1, 0}
s_i = {2/7, 4/7, 1/7, 0}

wakeup on cpu0, weight=1

rw'_i = {3, 4, 1, 0}
s'_i = {3/8, 4/8, 1/8, 0}

s_0 = S * rw_0 / \Sum rw_j ->
  \Sum rw_j = S*rw_0/s_0 = 1*2*7/2 = 7 (correct)

s'_0 = S * (rw_0 + 1) / (\Sum rw_j + 1) =
       1 * (2+1) / (7+1) = 3/8 (correct

so we find that adding 1 to cpu0 gains 5/56 in weight
if say the other cpu were, cpu1, we'd also have to calculate its 4/56 loss
