May I know why we substract sysctl_sched_min_granularity above?
I thought thresh -= 1 would be enough to let the waking task preempt
the current one, because:
When a long sleeping task is enqueued on this rq, its vruntime is set
to cfs_rq->min_vtime - latency, so
diff = curr->vtime - cfs_rq->min_vtime + latency,
since (curr->vtime - cfs_rq->min_vtime) >= 0, if we set the thresh to
(latency - 1), the diff is guaranteed to be bigger than thresh and
the waking task can preempt current task.
