task_h_load() can return 0 in some situations like running stress-ng mmapfork, which forks thousands of threads, in a sched group on a 224 cores system. The load balance doesn't handle this correctly because env->imbalance never decreases and it will stop pulling tasks only after reaching loop_max, which can be equal to the number of running tasks of the cfs. Make sure that imbalance will be decreased by at least 1. misfit task is the other feature that doesn't handle correctly such situation although it's probably more difficult to face the problem because of the smaller number of CPUs and running tasks on heterogenous system. We can't simply ensure that task_h_load() returns at least one because it would imply to handle underflow in other places. Signed-off-by:
