Subject: RE: [PATCH] scheduler: domain: init next_balance in
 nohz_idle_balancer with jiffies

Yes, the change should be ported to kernel/sched/fair.c under init_sched_fair_class(). But that's for 3.3. I will send a separate patch for 3.3 shortly.

All previous kernels have the old structure where the patch can be applied as it is.

--Diwakar.
