commit 829c1651e9c4a6f78398d3e67651cef9bb6b42cc upstream. When a scheduling entity is placed onto cfs_rq, its vruntime is pulled to the base level (around cfs_rq->min_vruntime), so that the entity doesn't gain extra boost when placed backwards. However, if the entity being placed wasn't executed for a long time, its vruntime may get too far behind (e.g. while cfs_rq was executing a low-weight hog), which can inverse the vruntime comparison due to s64 overflow. This results in the entity being placed with its original vruntime way forwards, so that it will effectively never get to the cpu. To prevent that, ignore the vruntime of the entity being placed if it didn't execute for much longer than the characteristic sheduler time scale.

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.
