Re: [PATCH 1/2] sched/fair: Fix how load gets propagated from cfs_rq to its sched_entity

[Tejun Heo]

Hello, Peter.

Your changes need the following fix patch.  With the fix and
"sched/fair: Always propagate runnable_load_avg" applied, it seems to
work fine.  The propagated number is a bit different but I don't see
noticeable difference in behavior and the new number seems to better
represent what we need.

Thanks.
