This fixes an issue where old load on a cfs_rq is not properly decayed, resulting in strange behavior where fairness can decrease drastically. Real workloads with equally weighted control groups have ended up getting a respective 99% and 1%(!!) of cpu time. When an idle task is attached to a cfs_rq by attaching a pid to a cgroup, the old load of the task is attached to the new cfs_rq and sched_entity by attach_entity_cfs_rq. If the task is then moved to another cpu (and therefore cfs_rq) before being enqueued/woken up, the load will be moved to cfs_rq->removed from the sched_entity. Such a move will happen when enforcing a cpuset on the task (eg. via a cgroup) that force it to move. The load will however not be removed from the task_group itself, making it look like there is a constant load on that cfs_rq. This causes the vruntime of tasks on other sibling cfs_rq's to increase faster than they are supposed to; causing severe fairness issues. If no other task is started on the given cfs_rq, and due to the cpuset it would not happen, this load would never be properly unloaded. With this patch the load will be properly removed inside update_blocked_averages. This also applies to tasks moved to the fair scheduling class and moved to another cpu, and this path will also fix that. For fork, the entity is queued right away, so this problem does not affect that. This applies to cases where the new process is the first in the cfs_rq, issue introduced |
