That's what it does, but fails to explain why. How is this number
useful.

That comparison is the same as the subtraction; might as well write
this:

> + if (runtime > cfs_b->quota) {

Same here.

> + }
> + }


Perhaps we can write that like:

s64 runtime = cfs_b->runtime_snapshot - cfs_b->runtime;
if (runtime > 0) {
s64 burstime = runtime - cfs_q->quota;
if (burstime > 0) {
cfs_b->bust_time += bursttime;
cfs_b->nr_bursts++;
}
}

I was hoping we could get away with something simpler, like maybe:

u64 old_runtim = cfs_b->runtime;

cfs_b->runtime += cfs_b->quota
cfs_b->runtime = min(cfs_b->runtime, cfs_b->quota + cfs_b->burst);

if (cfs_b->runtime - old_runtime > cfs_b->quota)
cfs_b->nr_bursts++;

Would that be good enough?

As per the above, I don't really like that name, runtime_snapshot or
perhaps runtime_snap is shorter and not less clear. But not having it at
all would be even better.
