      sched/fair: Fix effective_load() to consistently use smoothed load · 7dd49125
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Starting with the following commit:
      
        fde7d22e ("sched/fair: Fix overly small weight for interactive group entities")
      
      calc_tg_weight() doesn't compute the right value as expected by effective_load().
      
      The difference is in the 'correction' term. In order to ensure \Sum
      rw_j >= rw_i we cannot use tg->load_avg directly, since that might be
      lagging a correction on the current cfs_rq->avg.load_avg value.
      Therefore we use tg->load_avg - cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib +
      cfs_rq->avg.load_avg.
      
      Now, per the referenced commit, calc_tg_weight() doesn't use
      cfs_rq->avg.load_avg, as is later used in @w, but uses
      cfs_rq->load.weight instead.
      
      So stop using calc_tg_weight() and do it explicitly.
      
      The effects of this bug are wake_affine() making randomly
      poor choices in cgroup-intense workloads.

      Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
       "Two straightforward fixes.
      
        One is a concurrency issue only affecting SAS connected SATA drives,
        but which could hang the storage subsystem if it triggers (because the
        outstanding command count on error never goes back to zero) and the
        other is a NO_TAG fallout from the switch to hostwide tags which
        causes the system to crash on module insertion (we've checked
        carefully and only the 53c700 family of drivers is vulnerable to this
        issue)"
