sched: Fix cgroup movement of newly created process
There is a small race between do_fork() and sched_move_task(), which is trying to move the child. do_fork() sched_move_task() --------------------------------+--------------------------------- copy_process() sched_fork() task_fork_fair() -> vruntime of the child is initialized based on that of the parent. -> we can see the child in "tasks" file now. task_rq_lock() task_move_group_fair() -> child.se.vruntime -= (old)cfs_rq->min_vruntime += (new)cfs_rq->min_vruntime task_rq_unlock() wake_up_new_task() ... enqueue_entity() child.se.vruntime += cfs_rq->min_vruntime As a result, vruntime of the child becomes far bigger than min_vruntime, if (new)cfs_rq->min_vruntime >> (old)cfs_rq->min_vruntime. This patch fixes this problem by just ignoring such process in task_move_group_fair(), because the vruntime has already been normalized in task_fork_fair().
