Subject: Re: [powerpc][5.13.0-rc7] Kernel warning (kernel/sched/fair.c:401)
 while running LTP tests

Hi,

Did some more research, and it looks like this is what happens:

$ tree /sys/fs/cgroup/ltp/ -d --charset=ascii
/sys/fs/cgroup/ltp/
|-- drain
`-- test-6851
    `-- level2
        |-- level3a
        |   |-- worker1
        |   `-- worker2
        `-- level3b
            `-- worker3

Timeline (ish):
- worker3 gets throttled
- level3b is decayed, since it has no more load
- level2 get throttled
- worker3 get unthrottled
- level2 get unthrottled
  - worker3 is added to list
  - level3b is not added to list, since nr_running==0 and is decayed


The attached diff (based on
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210518125202.78658-3-odin@uged.al/)
fixes the issue for me. Not the most elegant solution, but the
simplest one as of now, and to show what is wrong.

Any thoughts Vincent?

Thanks
Odin
