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.

+=================
+PCI Test Function
+=================
+
+:Author: Kishon Vijay Abraham I <kishon@ti.com>
+
+Traditionally PCI RC has always been validated by using standard
+PCI cards like ethernet PCI cards or USB PCI cards or SATA PCI cards.
+However with the addition of EP-core in linux kernel, it is possible
+to configure a PCI controller that can operate in EP mode to work as
+a test device.
+
+The PCI endpoint test device is a virtual device (defined in software)
+used to test the endpoint functionality and serve as a sample driver
+for other PCI endpoint devices (to use the EP framework).
+
+The PCI endpoint test device has the following registers:
+
+ 1) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_MAGIC
+ 2) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_COMMAND
+ 3) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_STATUS
+ 4) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_SRC_ADDR
+ 5) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_DST_ADDR
+ 6) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_SIZE
+ 7) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_CHECKSUM
+ 8) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_IRQ_TYPE
+ 9) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_IRQ_NUMBER
+
+* PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_MAGIC
+
+This register will be used to test BAR0. A known pattern will be written
+and read back from MAGIC register to verify BAR0.
+
+* PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_COMMAND
+
+This register will be used by the host driver to indicate the function
+that the endpoint device must perform.

+======== ================================================================
+Bitfield Description
+======== ================================================================
+Bit 0 raise legacy IRQ
+Bit 1 raise MSI IRQ
+Bit 2 raise MSI-X IRQ
+Bit 3 read command (read data from RC buffer)
+Bit 4 write command (write data to RC buffer)
+Bit 5 copy command (copy data from one RC buffer to another RC buffer)
+======== ================================================================
+
+* PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_STATUS
+
+This register reflects the status of the PCI endpoint device.

+
+* PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_SRC_ADDR
+
+This register contains the source address (RC buffer address) for the
+COPY/READ command.
+
+* PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_DST_ADDR
+
+This register contains the destination address (RC buffer address) for
+the COPY/WRITE command.
+
+* PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_IRQ_TYPE
+
+This register contains the interrupt type (Legacy/MSI) triggered
+for the READ/WRITE/COPY and raise IRQ (Legacy/MSI) commands.
+
+Possible types:
+
+====== ==
+Legacy 0
+MSI 1
+MSI-X 2
+====== ==
+
+* PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_IRQ_NUMBER
+
+This register contains the triggered ID interrupt.
+
+Admissible values:
+

+Legacy 0
+MSI [1 .. 32]
+MSI-X [1 .. 2048]
