Yes, sorry, I should have been more precise in my initial report: your patch was not applied on top of vanilla 3.8-rc7, but a few other patches were also present. Seems the ones impacting load_balance are from Frederic's nohz work (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/3.8-rc6-nohz4) The patches from there modifying load_balance are: - "sched: Update nohz rq clock before searching busiest group on load balancing" - "sched: Update clock of nohz busiest rq before balancing" In this test, I did not use any kernel parameter related to this patchset (full_nohz, etc.). I am adding Frederic in Cc, not sure if the breakage is to be investigated on your side or his...
