From 7c3edd2c300b7ef2005a69dc727692ee07434aa5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2016 10:56:25 +0200 Subject: sched/fair: Improve PELT stuff some more Vincent noted that the update_tg_load_avg() usage in commit: 3d30544f0212 ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes") isn't entirely sufficient. We need to call this function every time cfs_rq->avg.load changes, this includes when update_cfs_rq_load_avg() returns true, but {attach,detach}_entity_load_avg() themselves also change it. This means we need to unconditionally call update_tg_load_avg(). Also, add more comments.
