From 638476007d13534b2ed4134bf0279ef44071140b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xunlei Pang Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2014 23:58:29 +0800 Subject: sched/fair: Fix the dealing with decay_count in __synchronize_entity_decay() In __synchronize_entity_decay(), if "decays" happens to be zero, se->avg.decay_count will not be zeroed, holding the positive value assigned when dequeued last time. This is problematic in the following case: If this runnable task is CFS-balanced to other CPUs soon afterwards, migrate_task_rq_fair() will treat it as a blocked task due to its non-zero decay_count, thereby adding its load to cfs_rq->removed_load wrongly. Thus, we must zero se->avg.decay_count in this case as well.
