    sched/core: Fix the bug that task won't enqueue into core tree when update cookie · 91caa5ae
    Cruz Zhao authored
    In function sched_core_update_cookie(), a task will enqueue into the
    core tree only when it enqueued before, that is, if an uncookied task
    is cookied, it will not enqueue into the core tree until it enqueue
    again, which will result in unnecessary force idle.
    
    Here follows the scenario:
      CPU x and CPU y are a pair of SMT siblings.
      1. Start task a running on CPU x without sleeping, and task b and
         task c running on CPU y without sleeping.
      2. We create a cookie and share it to task a and task b, and then
         we create another cookie and share it to task c.
      3. Simpling core_forceidle_sum of task a and b from /proc/PID/sched
    
    And we will find out that core_forceidle_sum of task a takes 30%
    time of the sampling period, which shouldn't happen as task a and b
    have the same cookie.
    
    Then we migrate task a to CPU x', migrate task b and c to CPU y', where
    CPU x' and CPU y' are a pair of SMT siblings, and sampling again, we
    will found out that core_forceidle_sum of task a and b are almost zero.
    
    To solve this problem, we enqueue the task into the core tree if it's
    on rq.
