This is a problem because things like double_rq_lock() update the rq->clock value for both rqs. Therefore disabling interrupts isn't strong enough.

This hurts. We need the rq-locks whenever we change the weight of the per-cpu group sched entities. To allevate this a little, only change the weight when the new weight is at least shares_thresh away from the old value. This avoids the rq-lock for the top level entries, since those will never be re-weighted, and fuzzes the lower level entries a little to gain performance in semi-stable situations.

What happens is that we reprogram the hrtick from enqueue/dequeue_fair_task() because that can change nr_running, and thus a current tasks ideal runtime. However, its possible the current task isn't a fair_sched_class task, and thus doesn't have a hrtick set to change. Fix this by wrapping those hrtick_start_fair() calls in a hrtick_update() function, which will check for the right conditions.

Suppose: dv = dt * rw / w Then take 10 tasks t_n, each of similar weight. If the first will run 1 then its vruntime will increase by 10. Now, if the next 8 tasks leave after having run their 1, then the last task will get a vruntime increase of 2 after having run 1. Which will leave us with 2 tasks of equal weight and equal runtime, of which one will not be scheduled for 8/2=4 units of time. Ergo, we cannot do that and must use: dv = dt / w. This means we cannot have a global vruntime based on effective priority, but must instead go back to the vruntime per rq model we started out with. This patch was lightly tested by doing starting while loops on each nice level and observing their execution time, and a simple group scenario of 1:2:3 pinned to a single cpu.
