commit f6783319737f28e4436a69611853a5a098cbe974 upstream. Sargun reported a crash: "I picked up c40f7d74c741a907cfaeb73a7697081881c497d0 sched/fair: Fix infinite loop in update_blocked_averages() by reverting a9e7f6544b9c and put it on top of 4.19.13. In addition to this, I uninlined list_add_leaf_cfs_rq for debugging. This revealed a new bug that we didn't get to because we kept getting crashes from the previous issue. When we are running with cgroups that are rapidly changing, with CFS bandwidth control, and in addition using the cpusets cgroup, we see this crash. Specifically, it seems to occur with cgroups that are throttled and we change the allowed cpuset." The algorithm used to order cfs_rq in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list assumes that it will walk down to root the 1st time a cfs_rq is used and we will finish to add either a cfs_rq without parent or a cfs_rq with a parent that is already on the list. But this is not always true in presence of throttling. Because a cfs_rq can be throttled even if it has never been used but other CPUs of the cgroup have already used all the bandwdith, we are not sure to go down to the root and add all cfs_rq in the list. Ensure that all cfs_rq will be added in the list even if they are throttled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
