@Greg KH, Qian Cai's compiler warning fix has now been integrated into Linus' tree as commit: 763a9ec06c409
Both de53fd7aedb1 and 763a9ec06c40 are now apart of v5.4-rc1. Can you please queue up these fixes for backport to all stable kernels.
Thank you, Dave Chiluk

Commit de53fd7aedb1 ("sched/fair: Fix low cpu usage with high throttling by removing expiration of cpu-local slices") fixes a major performance issue for containerized clouds such as Kubernetes.
Commit de53fd7aedb1 Fixes commit : 512ac999d275 ("sched/fair: Fix bandwidth timer clock drift condition").
This should be applied to all stable kernels that applied commit 512ac999d275, and should probably be applied to all others as well.
As this commit isn't in a released kernel just yet, we should wait to see what happens when it hits people's machines, right?
I think waiting till 5.4 is released would be irresponsible on this one. 512ac999 was recently pushed back into many of the distro
The "released kernel" statement means 5.4-rc1 rather than 5.4, which is just a few days away.
