commit d329605287020c3d1c3b0dadc63d8208e7251382 upstream.
When a task's weight is being changed, set_load_weight() is called with
@update_load set. As weight changes aren't trivial for the fair class,
set_load_weight() calls fair.c::reweight_task() for fair class tasks.
However, set_load_weight() first tests task_has_idle_policy() on entry and
skips calling reweight_task() for SCHED_IDLE tasks. This is buggy as
SCHED_IDLE tasks are just fair tasks with a very low weight and they would
incorrectly skip load, vlag and position updates.
Fix it by updating reweight_task() to take struct load_weight as idle weight
can't be expressed with prio and making set_load_weight() call
reweight_task() for SCHED_IDLE tasks too when @update_load is set.
Fixes:

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
