Hi Vincent,

We test the regression still existed in v5.7, do you have time to
look at it? Thanks.

Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -10.5% regression of reaim.jobs_per_min due to commit:


commit: 070f5e860ee2bf588c99ef7b4c202451faa48236 ("sched/fair: Take into account runnable_avg to classify group")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master

in testcase: reaim
on test machine: 4 threads Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz with 4G memory
with following parameters:

runtime: 300s
nr_task: 100%
test: five_sec
cpufreq_governor: performance
ucode: 0x21

test-description: REAIM is an updated and improved version of AIM 7 benchmark.
test-url: https://sourceforge.net/projects/re-aim-7/

Hi Xing

After 070f5e860ee2 let's treat runnable the same way as util on
comparing capacity in the assumption that
(125 + 110 + 117) / 3 = 117 accounts for 105 within margin of error
before any other proposal with some more reasons.

thanks

I apply the patch based on v5.7, the regression still existed.
