Subject: [PATCH 2/2] sched: Fix "divide error: 0000" in find_busiest_group
Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2011 14:58:49 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E25F009.1040309@hp.com> (raw)
Add a check to sched_avg_update() to detect and reset age_stamp if the
clock value has wrapped. Because __cycles_2_ns() includes an offset
to account for start up time, the clock may not wrap to zero, so use
the current clock value instead.
