thanks for testing, Michael!

Maybe 2 fix worth to try.

1, change back the tg_weight in calc_tg_weight() to use tg_load_contrib not direct load.

diff --git a/kernel/sched/fair.c b/kernel/sched/fair.c
index 6f4f14b..c770f8d 100644
--- a/kernel/sched/fair.c
+++ b/kernel/sched/fair.c
@@ -1037,8 +1037,8 @@ static inline long calc_tg_weight(struct task_group *tg, struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq)
 	 * update_cfs_rq_load_contribution().
 	 */
 	tg_weight = atomic64_read(&tg->load_avg);
-	tg_weight -= cfs_rq->tg_load_contrib;
-	tg_weight += cfs_rq->load.weight;
+	//tg_weight -= cfs_rq->tg_load_contrib;
+	//tg_weight += cfs_rq->load.weight;
 
 	return tg_weight;
 }

2, another try is follow the current calc_tg_weight, so remove the follow change.

Would you like to try them?
