O.K., so much for my due diligence testing speech above. I have created a senario similar to what Olivier reported above, and yes indeed I also am seeing reported load averages that are very much too high (Oh, darn).
At the moment I am not setup for compiling the kernel, but I can be in a short time. I would like to verify proper load reported averages, under these conditions, with the final kernel.org patch taken out. (for my own benifit, and because I understood it better, I will then try my version of the patch, which is different than what came back from Peter Z. at kernel.org. (My version did not account for a certain code path in sched.c because my computer never ever took that path)) Currently, I have hacked up my test program to obtain these results. If I get around to fixing it up, I'll post it here. In a minute I will post my test results as a text file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/838811 Title: load average too low To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/838811/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
