Could it have something to do with the fact that .se->load.weight = 2 for all these task groups? on a 64bit system? In case we call __update_load_avg(..., se->on_rq * scale_load_down(se->load.weight), ...) we pass a weight argument of 0 for these se's. Does not happen with: - if (shares < MIN_SHARES) - shares = MIN_SHARES; + if (shares < scale_load(MIN_SHARES)) + shares = scale_load(MIN_SHARES); in calc_cfs_shares(). [...]
