Hao Jia ebd1f4898c sched/core: Fix RQCF_ACT_SKIP leak
commit 5ebde09d91 upstream.

Igor Raits and Bagas Sanjaya report a RQCF_ACT_SKIP leak warning.

This warning may be triggered in the following situations:

    CPU0                                      CPU1

__schedule()
  *rq->clock_update_flags <<= 1;*   unregister_fair_sched_group()
  pick_next_task_fair+0x4a/0x410      destroy_cfs_bandwidth()
    newidle_balance+0x115/0x3e0       for_each_possible_cpu(i) *i=0*
      rq_unpin_lock(this_rq, rf)      __cfsb_csd_unthrottle()
      raw_spin_rq_unlock(this_rq)
                                      rq_lock(*CPU0_rq*, &rf)
                                      rq_clock_start_loop_update()
                                      rq->clock_update_flags & RQCF_ACT_SKIP <--
      raw_spin_rq_lock(this_rq)

The purpose of RQCF_ACT_SKIP is to skip the update rq clock,
but the update is very early in __schedule(), but we clear
RQCF_*_SKIP very late, causing it to span that gap above
and triggering this warning.

In __schedule() we can clear the RQCF_*_SKIP flag immediately
after update_rq_clock() to avoid this RQCF_ACT_SKIP leak warning.
And set rq->clock_update_flags to RQCF_UPDATED to avoid
rq->clock_update_flags < RQCF_ACT_SKIP warning that may be triggered later.

Fixes: ebb83d84e4 ("sched/core: Avoid multiple calling update_rq_clock() in __cfsb_csd_unthrottle()")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
