Dave, Here is the fix for the bug reported on this thread. Please Apply. Looks to be a stable candidate as well. Thanks, Venki ondemand and conservative governors are messing up time units in the code path where NO_HZ is not enabled and ignore_nice is set. The walltime idletime stored is in jiffies and nice time calculation is happening in microseconds. The problem was reported and diagnosed by Alexander here. http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125752550404513&w=2 The patch below fixes this thinko.
