Here a call to update_cfs_shares() gets added. Doesn't that make the call to
update_cfs_shares() in __update_blocked_averages_cpu() superfluous?


Function pasted here for reference:

static void __update_blocked_averages_cpu(struct task_group *tg, int cpu)
{
	struct sched_entity *se = tg->se[cpu];
	struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq = tg->cfs_rq[cpu];

	/* throttled entities do not contribute to load */
	if (throttled_hierarchy(cfs_rq))
		return;

	update_cfs_rq_blocked_load(cfs_rq, 1);

	if (se) {
		update_entity_load_avg(se, 1);
		/*
		 * We can pivot on the runnable average decaying to zero for
		 * list removal since the parent average will always be >=
		 * child.
		 */
		if (se->avg.runnable_avg_sum)
			update_cfs_shares(cfs_rq);
		else
			list_del_leaf_cfs_rq(cfs_rq);
	} else {
		struct rq *rq = rq_of(cfs_rq);
		update_rq_runnable_avg(rq, rq->nr_running);
	}
}
