commit ea1dc6fc6242f991656e35e2ed3d90ec1cd13418 upstream.
Commit:
fde7d22e01aa ("sched/fair: Fix overly small weight for interactive group
entities")
did something non-obvious but also did it buggy yet latent.
The problem was exposed for real by a later commit in the v4.7 merge window:
2159197d6677 ("sched/core: Enable increased load resolution on 64-bit
kernels")
... after which tg->load_avg and cfs_rq->load.weight had different
units (10 bit fixed point and 20 bit fixed point resp.).
Add a comment to explain the use of cfs_rq->load.weight over the
'natural' cfs_rq->avg.load_avg and add scale_load_down() to correct
for the difference in unit.
Since this is (now, as per a previous commit) the only user of
calc_tg_weight(), collapse it.
The effects of this bug should be randomly inconsistent SMP-balancing
of cgroups workloads.
