However, if se->vruntime -= cfs_rq->min_vruntime is positive, the
behavior is different after your patch. e.g. se->vruntime(the
relative vruntime in switched_to_fair()) < min_vruntime -
sysctl_sched_latency/2

before your patch:

se->vruntime = min_vruntime - sysctl_sched_latency/2 (place_entity())
my patch is based on ff277d4 commit at tip/sched/core.

there's no change between before and after.

check it please.

and this logic seems to be no problem to me. :(
Your logic will lose fair sleeper bonus in the scenario which I pointed out.
i mean in ff277d4 commit:

Please include the commit subject when you point out a commit, do you mean this one?

commit ff277d4250fe715b6666219b1a3423b863418794

sched/deadline: Fix comment in enqueue_task_dl()

The "dl_boosted" flag is set by comparing *absolute* deadlines
(c.f., rt_mutex_setprio()).


What's the relationship w/ this patch?

I think you mean your commit:

commit 7855a35ac07a350e2cd26f09568a6d8e372be358

sched: Ensure a task has a non-normalized vruntime when returning back to CFS


However, that is wrong in the scenario which I mentioned.
