Subject: sched/fair: Fix imbalance overflow
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=91dcf1e8068e9a8823e419a7a34ff4341275fb70;p=linux.git

sched/fair: Fix imbalance overflow

When local group is fully busy but its average load is above system load,
computing the imbalance will overflow and local group is not the best
target for pulling this load.

Fixes: 0b0695f2b34a ("sched/fair: Rework load_balance()")
