From 0e5b5337f0da073e1f17aec3c322ea7826975d0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Low Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2014 15:45:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix updating rq->max_idle_balance_cost and rq->next_balance in idle_balance() The following commit: e5fc66119ec9 ("sched: Fix race in idle_balance()") can potentially cause rq->max_idle_balance_cost to not be updated, even when load_balance(NEWLY_IDLE) is attempted and the per-sd max cost value is updated. Preeti noticed a similar issue with updating rq->next_balance. In this patch, we fix this by making sure we still check/update those values even if a task gets enqueued while browsing the domains.
