commit 46fcc4b00c3cca8adb9b7c9afdd499f64e427135 upstream. When a boosted task gets throttled, what normally happens is that it's immediately enqueued again with ENQUEUE_REPLENISH, which replenishes the runtime and clears the dl_throttled flag. There is a special case however: if the throttling happened on sched-out and the task has been deboosted in the meantime, the replenish is skipped as the task will return to its normal scheduling class. This leaves the task with the dl_throttled flag set. Now if the task gets boosted up to the deadline scheduling class again while it is sleeping, it's still in the throttled state. The normal wakeup however will enqueue the task with ENQUEUE_REPLENISH not set, so we don't actually place it on the rq. Thus we end up with a task that is runnable, but not actually on the rq and neither a immediate replenishment happens, nor is the replenishment timer set up, so the task is stuck in forever-throttled limbo. Clear the dl_throttled flag before dropping back to the normal scheduling class to fix this issue.

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.
