The load balancer uses runnable_load_avg as load indicator. For !cgroup this is: runnable_load_avg = \Sum se->avg.load_avg ; where se->on_rq That is, a direct sum of all runnable tasks on that runqueue. As opposed to load_avg, which is a sum of all tasks on the runqueue, which includes a blocked component. However, in the cgroup case, this comes apart since the group entities are always runnable, even if most of their constituent entities are blocked. Therefore introduce a runnable_weight which for task entities is the same as the regular weight, but for group entities is a fraction of the entity weight and represents the runnable part of the group runqueue. Then propagate this load through the PELT hierarchy to arrive at an effective runnable load avgerage -- which we should not confuse with the canonical runnable load average.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
