From b11ff3ef4d096e5bd5c413ed9e1a337d10fce536 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Guittot Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2023 11:06:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Fix imbalance overflow [ Upstream commit 91dcf1e8068e9a8823e419a7a34ff4341275fb70 ] 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.
