[ Upstream commit 26cf52229efc87e2effa9d788f9b33c40fb3358a ]
During our testing, we found a case that shares no longer working correctly, the cgroup topology is like:
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A (shares=102400) /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A/B (shares=2) /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A/B/C (shares=1024)
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/D (shares=1024) /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/D/E (shares=1024) /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/D/E/F (shares=1024)
The same benchmark is running in group C & F, no other tasks are running, the benchmark is capable to consumed all the CPUs.
We suppose the group C will win more CPU resources since it could enjoy all the shares of group A, but it's F who wins much more.
The reason is because we have group B with shares as 2, since A->cfs_rq.load.weight == B->se.load.weight == B->shares/nr_cpus, so A->cfs_rq.load.weight become very small.
And in calc_group_shares() we calculate shares as:
load = max(scale_load_down(cfs_rq->load.weight), cfs_rq->avg.load_avg); shares = (tg_shares * load) / tg_weight;
Since the 'cfs_rq->load.weight' is too small, the load become 0 after scale down, although 'tg_shares' is 102400, shares of the se which stand for group A on root cfs_rq become 2.
While the se of D on root cfs_rq is far more bigger than 2, so it wins the battle.
Thus when scale_load_down() scale real weight down to 0, it's no longer telling the real story, the caller will have the wrong information and the calculation will be buggy.
This patch add check in scale_load_down(), so the real weight will be >= MIN_SHARES after scale, after applied the group C wins as expected.
