From cadefd3d6cc914d95163ba1eda766bfe7ce1e5b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:40:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Make scale_rt_power() deal with backward clocks Mike reported that, while unlikely, its entirely possible for scale_rt_power() to see the time go backwards. This yields rather 'interesting' results. So like all other sites that deal with clocks; make this one ignore backward clock movement too.
