From: Michal Koutný <mkoutny@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2630cde26711dab0d0b56a8be1616475be646d13 ] Since commit a7b359fc6a37 ("sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle") we add cfs_rqs with no runnable tasks but not fully decayed into the load (leaf) list. We may ignore adding some ancestors and therefore breaking tmp_alone_branch invariant. This broke LTP test cfs_bandwidth01 and it was partially fixed in commit fdaba61ef8a2 ("sched/fair: Ensure that the CFS parent is added after unthrottling"). I noticed the named test still fails even with the fix (but with low probability, 1 in ~1000 executions of the test). The reason is when bailing out of unthrottle_cfs_rq early, we may miss adding ancestors of the unthrottled cfs_rq, thus, not joining tmp_alone_branch properly. Fix this by adding ancestors if we notice the unthrottled cfs_rq was added to the load list.
