[01/34] sched: cgroup: Implement different treatment for idle shares

[Greg KH]

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>

commit cd8ad40de36c2fe75f3b731bd70198b385895246 upstream.

When setting the weight for a per-cpu task-group, we have to put in a
phantom weight when there is no work on that cpu, otherwise we'll not
service that cpu when new work gets placed there until we again update
the per-cpu weights.

We used to add these phantom weights to the total, so that the idle
per-cpu shares don't get inflated, this however causes the non-idle
parts to get deflated, causing unexpected weight distibutions.

Reverse this, so that the non-idle shares are correct but the idle
shares are inflated.
