    Subject[PATCH 5.13 169/266] sched/fair: Ensure _sum and _avg values stay consistent
    Date
    From: Odin Ugedal <odin@uged.al>

    [ Upstream commit 1c35b07e6d3986474e5635be566e7bc79d97c64d ]

    The _sum and _avg values are in general sync together with the PELT
    divider. They are however not always completely in perfect sync,
    resulting in situations where _sum gets to zero while _avg stays
    positive. Such situations are undesirable.

    This comes from the fact that PELT will increase period_contrib, also
    increasing the PELT divider, without updating _sum and _avg values to
    stay in perfect sync where (_sum == _avg * divider). However, such PELT
    change will never lower _sum, making it impossible to end up in a
    situation where _sum is zero and _avg is not.

    Therefore, we need to ensure that when subtracting load outside PELT,
    that when _sum is zero, _avg is also set to zero. This occurs when
    (_sum < _avg * divider), and the subtracted (_avg * divider) is bigger
    or equal to the current _sum, while the subtracted _avg is smaller than
    the current _avg.
