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: [2241368.267723] cfs_rq[0]:/

Dec 19 14:24:57 h01 kernel: [2241368.267732]   .MIN_vruntime               =

Dec 19 14:24:57 h01 kernel: [2241368.267736]   .min_vruntime               =

Dec 19 14:24:57 h01 kernel: [2241368.267740]   .max_vruntime               =

Dec 19 14:24:57 h01 kernel: [2241368.267751]   .nr_running                 =
   : 0
Dec 19 14:24:57 h01 kernel: [2241368.267754]   .load                       =
   : 0
Dec 19 14:24:57 h01 kernel: [2241368.267758]   .nr_spread_over             =
   : 939
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?
