sched/fair: Fix min_vruntime tracking

Peter Zijlstra · Ingo Molnar · commit b60205c7c558 · 2016-09-30T11:03:29.000+02:00
While going through enqueue/dequeue to review the movement of set_curr_task() I noticed that the (2nd) update_min_vruntime() call in dequeue_entity() is suspect. It turns out, its actually wrong because it will consider cfs_rq->curr, which could be the entry we just normalized. This mixes different vruntime forms and leads to fail. The purpose of the second update_min_vruntime() is to move min_vruntime forward if the entity we just removed is the one that was holding it back; _except_ for the DEQUEUE_SAVE case, because then we know its a temporary removal and it will come back. However, since we do put_prev_task() _after_ dequeue(), cfs_rq->curr will still be set (and per the above, can be tranformed into a different unit), so update_min_vruntime() should also consider curr->on_rq. This also fixes another corner case where the enqueue (which also does update_curr()->update_min_vruntime()) happens on the rq->lock break in schedule(), between dequeue and put_prev_task.
