tip 2f36825b176f67e5c5228aa33d828bc39718811f contains the below.

/* Don't dequeue parent if it has other entities besides us */
- if (cfs_rq->load.weight)
+ if (cfs_rq->load.weight) {
+ /*
+ * Bias pick_next to pick a task from this cfs_rq, as
+ * p is sleeping when it is within its sched_slice.
+ */
+ if (task_sleep && parent_entity(se))
+ set_next_buddy(parent_entity(se));
break;
+ }
flags |= DEQUEUE_SLEEP;
}
