Mike reports that commit6d71a9c616("sched/fair: Fix EEVDF entity placement bug causing scheduling lag") relies on commit4423af84b2("sched/fair: optimize the PLACE_LAG when se->vlag is zero") to not trip a WARN in place_entity(). What happens is that the lag of the very last entity is 0 per definition -- the average of one element matches the value of that element. Therefore place_entity() will match the condition skipping the lag adjustment: if (sched_feat(PLACE_LAG) && cfs_rq->nr_queued && se->vlag) { Without the 'se->vlag' condition -- it will attempt to adjust the zero lag even though we're inserting into an empty tree. Notably, we should have failed the 'cfs_rq->nr_queued' condition, but don't because they didn't get updated. Additionally, move update_load_add() after placement() as is consistent with other place_entity() users -- this change is non-functional, place_entity() does not use cfs_rq->load.

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 reStructuredText 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.
