From 5ed4f1d96deee82ee92cd1ac1e0108c27e80e9b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Guittot Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2012 06:11:26 +0200 Subject: sched: Fix nohz_idle_balance() On tickless systems, one CPU runs load balance for all idle CPUs. The cpu_load of this CPU is updated before starting the load balance of each other idle CPUs. We should instead update the cpu_load of the balance_cpu.
