putting test workloads into a tagged cgroup but unfortunately it failed

RIP translates to kernel/sched/fair.c:6819

static int
wakeup_preempt_entity(struct sched_entity *curr, struct sched_entity *se)
{
        s64 gran, vdiff = curr->vruntime - se->vruntime; /* LINE 6819 */

        if (vdiff <= 0)
                return -1;

        gran = wakeup_gran(se);
        if (vdiff > gran)
                return 1;
}

I haven't tried debugging it yet.
