fair_delta64 == 0
and
fair_delta64 == ls->delta_fair + 1;
so obviously, i.e. ls->delta_fair == -1. delta_fair is of 'insigned
long' and calculated in
__update_curr_load() by means of calc_delta_mine().
calc_delta_mine() does in the very end:
return (unsigned long)min(tmp, (u64)(unsigned long)LONG_MAX);
(*) so that means, we likely got 'tmp' > (unsigned long)LONG_MAX in
calc_delta_mine()...
btw.,
- fair_delta64 == ls->delta_fair + 1;
+ fair_delta64 == (u64)ls->delta_fair + 1;
in update_cpu_load() would avoid the problem, I guess (and perhaps,
can be legitimate, logically-wise).
maybe on the system with low HZ value (I can't see the kernel config
immediately on the bugzilla page) and a task niced to the lowest
priority (is this 'kjournald' mentioned in the report of lower prio? )
running for a full tick, 'tmp' can be such a big value... hmm?
