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.

+ * @pool: struct gen_pool retrieved that is part of this sram
+ * @dst: Destination address for the copy, that must be inside pool
+ * @src: Source address for the data to copy

+ *
+ * Return: Address for copied data that can safely be called through function
+ * pointer, or NULL if problem.
+ *
+ * This helper function allows sram driver to act as central control location
+ * of 'protect-exec' pools which are normal sram pools but are always set
+ * read-only and executable except when copying data to them, at which point
+ * they are set to read-write non-executable, to make sure no memory is
+ * writeable and executable at the same time. This region must be page-aligned
+ * and is checked during probe, otherwise page attribute manipulation would
+ * not be possible. Care must be taken to only call the returned address as
+ * dst address is not guaranteed to be safely callable.
+ *
+ * NOTE: This function uses the fncpy macro to move code to the executable
+ * region. Some architectures have strict requirements for relocating
+ * executable code, so fncpy is a macro that must be defined by any arch
+ * making use of this functionality that guarantees a safe copy of exec
+ * data and returns a safe address that can be called as a C function
+ * pointer.
