[Patch] task interactivity calculation (was Strange interactivity behaviour)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The appended patch fixes the problem mentioned in http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/27/104 regarding wrong truncations in the calculation of task interactivity when the nice value is negative. The problem causes the interactivity to scale nonlinearly and differ from examples in the code.
