SubjectPotential problem with 31e77c93e432dec7 ("sched/fair: Update blocked load when newly idle")
Hi Vincent,

I have observed issues running on linus/master from a few days back [1].
I'm running on a Renesas Koelsch board (arm32) and I can trigger a issue
by X forwarding the v4l2 test application qv4l2 over ssh and moving the
courser around in the GUI (best test case description award...). I'm
sorry about the really bad way I trigger this but I can't do it in any
other way, I'm happy to try other methods if you got some ideas. The
symptom of the issue is a complete hang of the system for more then 30
seconds and then this information is printed in the console:

After the freeze the system becomes responsive again and I can sometimes
trigger the hang multiple times. I tried to bisect the problem and I
found that by reverting [2] I can no longer reproduce the issue. I can
also not reproduce the issue on v4.16. I can't figure out if reverting
[2] is just treating a symptom or the root cause of my troubles and
would appreciate your input. Also my "test-case" do not trigger every
time but I have tested this scenario quiet a lot and the result seems to
be constant.

My test setup involves a NFS root filesystem, I ssh in and launch the
GUI application over X forwarding. From what I know the application is
not doing any ioctl calls to the v4l2 framework it's just sitting there
idle as I move the courser around showing tool tips and such as I hover
over elements and then it freeze up. I have not observed this issue by
just booting the system and leaving it idle, movement in the GUI seems
to be the key to trigger this.

I'm a bit lost on how to progress with this issue and would appreciate
any help you can provide to help me figure this out.
