Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 1/3] sched: Reduce overestimating rq->avg_idle

> When updating avg_idle, if the delta exceeds some max value, then avg_idle
> gets set to the max, regardless of what the previous avg was. This can cause
> avg_idle to often be overestimated.
> 
> This patch modifies the way we update avg_idle by always updating it with the
> function call to update_avg() first. Then, if avg_idle exceeds the max, we set
> it to the max.
