SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] sched/fair: Always propagate runnable_load_avg

Ah, OK. So you really want runnable_avg (and I understand why), which is
rather unfortunate, since we have everything on load_avg.

So for shares, load_avg gives a more stable number. This is important
since tg->load_avg is a global number, so computing it is expensive (and
slow). Therefore more stable numbers are good.

You mean, consistently expressing a group's se->load.weight in terms of
runnable_load_avg? See the above.
