Subject: sched: fix next_interval determination in idle_balance()
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>
The intervals of domains that do not have SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE must be
considered for the calculation of the time of the next balance. Otherwise
we may defer rebalancing forever.
Siddha also spotted that the conversion of the balance interval
to jiffies is missing. Fix that to.
also continue the loop if !(sd->flags & SD_LOAD_BALANCE).
