From 885e542ce827f5f102fe9628d63c6430c8b7ab2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dietmar Eggemann Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 20:32:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Fix comment in calculate_imbalance() The comment in calculate_imbalance() was introduced in commit: 2dd73a4f09be ("[PATCH] sched: implement smpnice") which described the logic as it was then, but a later commit: b18855500fc4 ("sched/balancing: Fix 'local->avg_load > sds->avg_load' case in calculate_imbalance()") .. complicated this logic some more so that the comment does not match anymore. Update the comment to match the code.
