Ingo Molnar b47e8608a0 [PATCH] sched: increase SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ
increase SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ that adds a small amount of
over-balancing: to help distribute CPU-bound tasks more fairly on SMP
systems.

the problem of unfair balancing was noticed and reported by Tong N Li.

10 CPU-bound tasks running on 8 CPUs, v2.6.23-rc1:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 2572 mingo     20   0  1576  244  196 R  100  0.0   1:03.61 loop
 2578 mingo     20   0  1576  248  196 R  100  0.0   1:03.59 loop
 2576 mingo     20   0  1576  248  196 R  100  0.0   1:03.52 loop

 2577 mingo     20   0  1576  248  196 R   50  0.0   0:31.88 loop

 2573 mingo     20   0  1576  248  196 R   50  0.0   0:31.86 loop
 2575 mingo     20   0  1576  248  196 R   50  0.0   0:31.86 loop

v2.6.23-rc1 + patch:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 2681 mingo     20   0  1576  244  196 R   85  0.0   3:51.68 loop
 2688 mingo     20   0  1576  244  196 R   81  0.0   3:46.35 loop
 2682 mingo     20   0  1576  244  196 R   80  0.0   3:43.68 loop
 2685 mingo     20   0  1576  248  196 R   80  0.0   3:45.97 loop
 2683 mingo     20   0  1576  248  196 R   80  0.0   3:40.25 loop
 2679 mingo     20   0  1576  244  196 R   80  0.0   3:33.53 loop
 2680 mingo     20   0  1576  244  196 R   79  0.0   3:43.53 loop
 2686 mingo     20   0  1576  244  196 R   79  0.0   3:39.31 loop
 2687 mingo     20   0  1576  244  196 R   78  0.0   3:33.31 loop
 2684 mingo     20   0  1576  244  196 R   77  0.0   3:27.52 loop

so they now nicely converge to the expected 80% long-term CPU usage.
