sched/fair: vruntime should normalize when switching from
fair When rt_mutex_setprio changes a task's scheduling class to RT, we're seeing cases where the task's vruntime is not updated correctly upon return to the fair class. Specifically, the following is being observed: - task is deactivated while still in the fair class - task is boosted to RT via rt_mutex_setprio, which changes the task to RT and calls check_class_changed. - check_class_changed leads to detach_task_cfs_rq, at which point the vruntime_normalized check sees that the task's state is TASK_WAKING, which results in skipping the subtraction of the rq's min_vruntime from the task's vruntime - later, when the prio is deboosted and the task is moved back to the fair class, the fair rq's min_vruntime is added to the task's vruntime, even though it wasn't subtracted earlier. The immediate result is inflation of the task's vruntime, giving it lower priority (starving it if there's enough available work). The longer-term effect is inflation of all vruntimes because the task's vruntime becomes the rq's min_vruntime when the higher priority tasks go idle. That leads to a vicious cycle, where the vruntime inflation repeatedly doubled. The change here is to detect when vruntime_normalized is being called when the task is waking but is waking in another class, and to conclude that this is a case where vruntime has not been normalized.
