set_delayed() adjusts cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable for the hierarchy when an
entity is delayed irrespective of whether the entity corresponds to a
task or a cfs_rq.
Consider the following scenario:
root
/ \
A B (*) delayed since B is no longer eligible on root
| |
Task0 Task1 <--- dequeue_task_fair() - task blocks
When Task1 blocks (dequeue_entity() for task's se returns true),
dequeue_entities() will continue adjusting cfs_rq->h_nr_* for the
hierarchy of Task1. However, when the sched_entity corresponding to
cfs_rq B is delayed, set_delayed() will adjust the h_nr_runnable for the
hierarchy too leading to both dequeue_entity() and set_delayed()
decrementing h_nr_runnable for the dequeue of the same task.
A SCHED_WARN_ON() to inspect h_nr_runnable post its update in
dequeue_entities() like below:
cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable -= h_nr_runnable;
SCHED_WARN_ON(((int) cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable) < 0);
is consistently tripped when running wakeup intensive workloads like
hackbench in a cgroup.
This error is self correcting since cfs_rq are per-cpu and cannot
migrate. The entitiy is either picked for full dequeue or is requeued
when a task wakes up below it. Both those paths call clear_delayed()
which again increments h_nr_runnable of the hierarchy without
considering if the entity corresponds to a task or not.
h_nr_runnable will eventually reflect the correct value however in the
interim, the incorrect values can still influence PELT calculation which
uses se->runnable_weight or cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable.
Since only delayed tasks take the early return path in
dequeue_entities() and enqueue_task_fair(), adjust the
h_nr_runnable in {set,clear}_delayed() only when a task is delayed as
this path skips the h_nr_* update loops and returns early.
For entities corresponding to cfs_rq, the h_nr_* update loop in the
caller will do the right thing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
