sched/fair: Avoid overflow in enqueue_entity()
Here is one scenario which was triggered when running: stress-ng --yield=32 -t 10000000s& while true; do perf bench sched messaging -p -t -l 100000 -g 16; done on a 256CPUs machine after about an hour into the run: __enqeue_entity: entity_key(-141245081754) weight(90891264) overflow_mul(5608800059305154560) vlag(57498) delayed?(0) cfs_rq: zero_vruntime(3809707759657809) sum_w_vruntime(0) sum_weight(0) nr_queued(1) cfs_rq->curr: entity_key(0) vruntime(3809707759657809) deadline(3809723966988476) weight(37) The above comes from __enqueue_entity() after a place_entity(). Breaking this down: vlag_initial = 57498 vlag = (57498 * (37 + 90891264)) / 37 = 141,245,081,754 vruntime = 3809707759657809 - 141245081754 = 3,809,566,514,576,055 entity_key(se, cfs_rq) = -141,245,081,754 Now, multiplying the entity_key with its own weight results to 5,608,800,059,305,154,560 (same as what overflow_mul() suggests) but in Python, without overflow, this would be: -1,2837,944,014,404,397,056 Avoid the overflow (without doing the division for avg_vruntime()), by moving zero_vruntime to the new entity when it is heavier.
