[PATCH 1/1] [PATCH v2]sched/pelt: Refine the enqueue_load_avg calculate method

[Kuyo Chang]

From: kuyo chang <kuyo.chang@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

I meet the warning message at cfs_rq_is_decayed at below code.

SCHED_WARN_ON(cfs_rq->avg.load_avg ||
		    cfs_rq->avg.util_avg ||
		    cfs_rq->avg.runnable_avg)

Following is the calltrace.

Call trace:
__update_blocked_fair
update_blocked_averages
newidle_balance
pick_next_task_fair
__schedule
schedule
pipe_read
vfs_read
ksys_read

After code analyzing and some debug messages, I found it exits a corner
case at attach_entity_load_avg which will cause load_sum is null but
load_avg is not.
Consider se_weight is 88761 according by sched_prio_to_weight table.
And assume the get_pelt_divider() is 47742, se->avg.load_avg is 1.
By the calculating for se->avg.load_sum as following will become zero
as following.
se->avg.load_sum =
	div_u64(se->avg.load_avg * se->avg.load_sum, se_weight(se));
se->avg.load_sum = 1*47742/88761 = 0.

After enqueue_load_avg code as below.
cfs_rq->avg.load_avg += se->avg.load_avg;
cfs_rq->avg.load_sum += se_weight(se) * se->avg.load_sum;

Then the load_sum for cfs_rq will be 1 while the load_sum for cfs_rq is 0.
So it will hit the warning message.

In order to fix the corner case, make sure the se->load_avg|sum is correct
before enqueue_load_avg.

After long time testing, the kernel warning was gone and the system runs
as well as before.

v1->v2:

(1)Thanks for suggestion from Peter Zijlstra & Vincent Guittot.
(2)By suggestion from Vincent Guittot,
rework the se->load_sum calculation method for fix the corner case, 
make sure the se->load_avg|sum is correct before enqueue_load_avg. 
(3)Rework changlog.
