sched/cache: Keep nr_pref_llc_running in the runnable domain, to fix LLC mis-scheduling buggrafted
alb_break_llc() decides whether to break LLC preference during active load balance. It does so by testing that every runnable fair task on the source rq prefers its LLC: env->src_rq->nr_pref_llc_running == env->src_rq->cfs.h_nr_runnable But the two counters cover different sets. nr_pref_llc_running is updated in account_llc_enqueue()/account_llc_dequeue(), next to cfs_rq->nr_queued, so it follows queued tasks. h_nr_runnable is updated in set_delayed()/ clear_delayed() and drops delay-dequeued tasks. So under DELAY_DEQUEUE, a preferring task that goes to sleep stays counted in nr_pref_llc_running while h_nr_runnable falls. The equality then breaks, alb_break_llc() returns false, and active balance is free to pull a task off its preferred LLC. Active balance only moves runnable tasks, and this is the only LLC check it consults: once the stopper runs, LBF_ACTIVE_LB skips the per-task test in can_migrate_task(). The runnable set is the one we want. Fix it on the counter side. A task should be counted in nr_pref_llc_running exactly while it is both queued on its preferred LLC (pref_llc_queued) and runnable (!sched_delayed). Define that membership once in task_pref_llc_runnable(), and adjust the counter only through pref_llc_running_inc()/pref_llc_running_dec() from the four sites that change either input: account_llc_enqueue(), account_llc_dequeue(), set_delayed() and clear_delayed(). Gating every update on the same predicate keeps the delay, wake and dequeue paths from double-counting or underflowing; see the comments at those sites for the ordering. nr_llc_running and sd->llc_counts are not touched and stay on queued semantics.

+Description: (RW) Read returns value of the Heartbeat update period.
+ Write to the file changes this period value.
+
+ This period should reflect planned polling interval of device
+ health status. High frequency Heartbeat monitoring wastes CPU cycles
+ but minimizes the customer’s system downtime. Also, if there are
+ large service requests that take some time to complete, high frequency
+ Heartbeat monitoring could result in false reports of unresponsiveness
+ and in those cases, period needs to be increased.
+
+ This parameter is effective only for c3xxx, c62x, dh895xcc devices.
+ 4xxx has this value internally fixed to 200ms.
+
+ Default value is set to 500. Minimal allowed value is 200.
+ All values are expressed in milliseconds.

+Description: (WO) Write to inject an error that simulates an heartbeat
+ failure. This is to be used for testing purposes.
+
+ After writing this file, the driver stops arbitration on a
+ random engine and disables the fetching of heartbeat counters.
+ If a workload is running on the device, a job submitted to the
+ accelerator might not get a response and a read of the
+ `heartbeat/status` attribute might report -1, i.e. device
+ unresponsive.
+ The error is unrecoverable thus the device must be restarted to
+ restore its functionality.
+
+ This attribute is available only when the kernel is built with
+ CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_QAT_ERROR_INJECTION=y.
+
+ A write of 1 enables error injection.
+
+ The following example shows how to enable error injection::
+
+ # cd /sys/kernel/debug/qat_<device>_<BDF>
+ # echo 1 > heartbeat/inject_error
