[patch 01/15] sched: (fixlet) dont update shares twice on on_rq parent

From: Paul Turner
Date: Sat May 07 2011 - 02:33:50 EST


In dequeue_task_fair() we bail on dequeue when we encounter a parenting entity
with additional weight. However, we perform a double shares update on this
entity since we continue the shares update traversal from that point, despite
dequeue_entity() having already updated its queuing cfs_rq.

Avoid this by starting from the parent when we resume.
