Marek and Biju reported instances of:
"EEVDF scheduling fail, picking leftmost"
which Mike correlated with cgroup scheduling and the min_deadline heap
getting corrupted; some trace output confirms:

Turns out that reweight_entity(), which tries really hard to be fast,
does not do the normal dequeue+update+enqueue pattern but *does* scale
the deadline.
However, it then fails to propagate the updated deadline value up the
heap.

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.
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.
