[PATCH] sched: fair: avoid integer overflow

From: Michal Nazarewicz
Date: Sun Nov 10 2013 - 14:42:32 EST


From: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@xxxxxxxxxx>

sa->runnable_avg_sum is of type u32 but after shifting it by NICE_0_SHIFT
bits it is promoted to u64. This of course makes no sense, since the
result will never be more then 32-bit long. Casting sa->runnable_avg_sum
to u64 before it is shifted, fixes this problem.
