Subject: [PATCH 5.4] sched/fair: Fix overutilized update in enqueue_task_fair()
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2020 10:18:27 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201123101827.451304-1-qperret@google.com> (raw)

[ Upstream commit 8e1ac4299a6e8726de42310d9c1379f188140c71 ]

enqueue_task_fair() attempts to skip the overutilized update for new
tasks as their util_avg is not accurate yet. However, the flag we check
to do so is overwritten earlier on in the function, which makes the
condition pretty much a nop.

Fix this by saving the flag early on.
