Q: print_cfs_rq() in kernel/sched_debug.c (2.6.32.49-0.3, SLES10 SP1

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi!

I'm debuggin  some problem with disk I/O hanging. So I dumped the blocked =
tasks (SysRq : Show Blocked State). I don't understand all the internals =
of the output, but I wondered why the vruntime max is smaller than the =
vruntime min in cfs_rq:

Dec 19 14:24:57 h01 kernel: [2241368.267754]   .load                       =

Dec 19 14:24:57 h01 kernel: [2241368.267758]   .nr_spread_over             =

Dec 19 14:24:57 h01 kernel: [2241368.267762]   .shares                     =
   : 0

The code for the max looks like this:

        if (last)
                max_vruntime =3D last->vruntime;

First I suspected the error in the printf section.

Ist there anything wrong, or is it my misunderstanding?
