From 6dd4a85bb3ee0715415892c8b0f2a9bd08d31ca4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Con Kolivas Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2005 21:38:59 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched: correct smp_nice_bias The priority biasing was off by mutliplying the total load by the total priority bias and this ruins the ratio of loads between runqueues. This patch should correct the ratios of loads between runqueues to be proportional to overall load. -2nd attempt. From: Dave Kleikamp This patch fixes a divide-by-zero error that I hit on a two-way i386 machine. rq->nr_running is tested to be non-zero, but may change by the time it is used in the division. Saving the value to a local variable ensures that the same value that is checked is used in the division.
