Greetings, I got the below dmesg and the first bad commit is https://github.com/alexshi/power-scheduling.git single-balance commit 98564060e5c360908d93f61a78ccbef4a082d3c2 Author: Alex Shi AuthorDate: Tue Feb 18 21:01:54 2014 +0800 Commit: Alex Shi CommitDate: Tue Feb 18 21:33:06 2014 +0800 sched/balance: add balance_interval to tuning top level balance frequency Since central balance stains less cpu cache as current balance, we can set the balance interval more short.
