Yeah. I got it.

This may not be an undefined behavior,

but rather a bug or logic error caused by overflow.


```cpp


static long calc_group_shares(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq)
{

    // ......

    shares = (tg_shares * load);   // 1048576 * 9144968455305  =
-8857549630719655936 (OVERFLOW)
    if (tg_weight)                         // assume tg_weight is 3
        shares /= tg_weight;         //  0xd7068dd8c2daaaab shoule be
0x2c5be32e18300000
}

```


It will cause `se->runnable_weight` to have an incorrect value in
reweight_entity().


Thanks.
