sched/fair: Update and fix the runnable propagation rule
Unlike running, the runnable part can't be directly propagated through the hierarchy when we migrate a task. The main reason is that runnable time can be shared with other sched_entities that stay on the rq and this runnable time will also remain on prev cfs_rq and must not be removed. Instead, we can estimate what should be the new runnable of the prev cfs_rq and check that this estimation stay in a possible range. The prop_runnable_sum is a good estimation when adding runnable_sum but fails most often when we remove it. Instead, we could use the formula below instead: gcfs_rq's runnable_sum = gcfs_rq->avg.load_sum / gcfs_rq->load.weight which assumes that tasks are equally runnable which is not true but easy to compute. Beside these estimates, we have several simple rules that help us to filter out wrong ones: - ge->avg.runnable_sum <= than LOAD_AVG_MAX - ge->avg.runnable_sum >= ge->avg.running_sum (ge->avg.util_sum << LOAD_AVG_MAX) - ge->avg.runnable_sum can't increase when we detach a task The effect of these fixes is better cgroups balancing.
