From abfafa54db9aba404e8e6763503f04d35bd07138 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Low Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2013 11:26:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
