Sorry Balbir, didn't realize that we haven't replied to these comments from you.

Yes, Needs to be corrected. Thanks.

Yes, but the actions are quite similar. In both the cases, they go off
the runqueque and get enqueued back. I see two (side)effects of using
DEQUEUE_SLEEP during dequeue and ENQUEUE_WAKEUP during enqueue:
- vruntime normalization isn't done for throttled entities. This should be
fine since they don't get pulled around when throttled.
- vruntime of throttled entities are re-calculated during unthrottling(enqueue).
This will ensure that throttled entities don't get undue vruntime-advantage
when they are enqueued back.
This is my understanding. I would request Paul to comment here.

Remember we are in hrtimer handler here, returning 1 will ensure that hrtimer
isn't restarted. So we don't restart the timer for a group that isn't
bandwidth constrained.
