Subject: [PATCH 0/2] schd/fair: fix stalled cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib

Odin reported some fairness problem between cgroup because of stalled
value in cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/5/18/566


2 problems generated this situation:
-1st: After propagating load in the hierarchy, load_sum can be null
 whereas load_avg isn't so the cfs_rq is removed whereas it still
 contribute to th tg's load
-2nd: cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib was not always updated after
 significant changes like becoming null because cfs_rq had already
 been updated when propagating a child load.


Vincent Guittot (2):
  sched/fair: keep load_avg and load_sum synced
  sched/fair: make sure to update tg contrib for blocked load
