Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Fix cpu_util runnable_avg arithmetic
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 07:01:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260605070103.1832-1-hongyan.xia@transsion.com> (raw)

From: Hongyan Xia <hongyan.xia@transsion.com>

If we take runnable_avg in max(runnable_avg, util_avg) in cpu_util(), we
should then add or subtract task runnable_avg, but the arithmetic below
is still with task util_avg. This mixes runnable_avg with util_avg which
is incorrect.

Fix by always doing arithmetic with runnable_avg and only take
max(runnable_avg, util_avg) at the last step.

Fixes: 7d0583cf9ec7 ("sched/fair, cpufreq: Introduce 'runnable boosting'")
