oh, great! I'm glad we didnt discard this as a pure sched_clock
resolution artifact.

Roman, a quick & easy request: please send the usual cfs-debug-info.sh
output captured while your testcase is running. (Preferably try .23-rc3
or later as Mike did, which has the most recent scheduler code, it
includes the patch i sent to you already.) I'll reply to your
sleeper-fairness questions separately, but in any case we need to figure
out what's happening on your box - if you can still reproduce it with
.23-rc3. Thanks,

Ingo
