Subject: [tg_shares_up rewrite v3 05/11] sched: fix update_cfs_load synchronization
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2010 19:24:10 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101112032701.712083681@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20101112032405.657789056@google.com

[-- Attachment #1: sched-tg-fix-update_cfs_load.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4093 bytes --]

Using cfs_rq->nr_running is not sufficient to synchronize update_cfs_load with
the put path since nr_running accounting occurs at deactivation.

It's also not safe to make the removal decision based on load_avg as this fails
with both high periods and low shares.  Resolve this by clipping history after 4
periods without activity.

Note: the above will always occur from update_shares() since in the 
last-task-sleep-case that task will still be cfs_rq->curr when update_cfs_load is
called.
