There was more in the original patch (commit 82958366cfea), the removal of the cfs_rq from the list was only done in case the se->avg.runnable_avg_sum had decayed to 0. Couldn't we use something similar with se->avg.load_avg instead to make sure that these blocked contributions have been decayed before we do the removal?

In my tests all cfs_rq's (tg_id=6,4,2) on the source CPU (CPU1) get removed? Do I miss something?
