See this line:

delta_fair = div64_s(delta, rq->nr_running);

Ingo, should we be replace "rq->nr_running" with "rq->raw_load_weight" here?

that would break the code. The handling of sleep periods is basically heuristics and using nr_running here appears to be 'good enough' in practice.

Thanks, I am wrong at seeing the delta variable is represented by virtual time unit. if the code does as I said, the delta_fair may be too small to meanless.

Also, I have want to know what's real meaning of

add_wait_runtime(rq, curr, delta_mine - delta_exec);

in update_curr(), IMHO, it should be

add_wait_runtime(rq, curr, delta_mine - delta_fair);

Is this just another heuristics? or my opinion is wrong again? :-)

Good luck.
