[ Upstream commit 79f3f9bedd149ea438aaeb0fb6a083637affe205 ]
Basically, from the constraint that the sum of lag is zero, you can infer that the 0-lag point is the weighted average of the individual vruntime, which is what we're trying to compute:
\Sum w_i * v_i avg = -------------- \Sum w_i
Now, since vruntime takes the whole u64 (worse, it wraps), this multiplication term in the numerator is not something we can compute; instead we do the min_vruntime (v0 henceforth) thing like:
v_i = (v_i - v0) + v0
This does two things: - it keeps the key: (v_i - v0) 'small'; - it creates a relative 0-point in the modular space.
If you do that subtitution and work it all out, you end up with:
\Sum w_i * (v_i - v0) avg = --------------------- + v0 \Sum w_i
Since you cannot very well track a ratio like that (and not suffer terrible numerical problems) we simpy track the numerator and denominator individually and only perform the division when strictly needed.
Notably, the numerator lives in cfs_rq->avg_vruntime and the denominator lives in cfs_rq->avg_load.
The one extra 'funny' is that these numbers track the entities in the tree, and current is typically outside of the tree, so avg_vruntime() adds current when needed before doing the division.
(vruntime_eligible() elides the division by cross-wise multiplication)
Anyway, as mentioned above, we currently use the CFS era min_vruntime for this purpose. However, this thing can only move forward, while the above avg can in fact move backward (when a non-eligible task leaves, the average becomes smaller), this can cause trouble when through happenstance (or construction) these values drift far enough apart to wreck the game.
Replace cfs_rq::min_vruntime with cfs_rq::zero_vruntime which is kept near/at avg_vruntime, following its motion.
The down-side is that this requires computing the avg more often.
