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.

+ Memory Technology Devices are flash, RAM and similar chips, often
+ used for solid state file systems on embedded devices. This option
+ will provide the generic support for MTD drivers to register
+ themselves with the kernel and for potential users of MTD devices
+ to enumerate the devices which are present and obtain a handle on
+ them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for
+ particular hardware and users of MTD devices. If unsure, say N.

+config MTD_BLOCK
+ tristate "Caching block device access to MTD devices"
+ depends on BLOCK
+ select MTD_BLKDEVS
+ help
+ Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
+ as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
+ on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
+ devices performing that function.
+
+ Note that mounting a JFFS2 filesystem doesn't require using mtdblock.
+ It's possible to mount a rootfs using the MTD device on the "root="
+ bootargs as "root=mtd2" or "root=mtd:name_of_device".
+
+ Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
+ on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
+ this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
+ almost never written to.
+
+ You do not need this option for use with the DiskOnChip devices. For
+ those, enable NFTL support (CONFIG_NFTL) instead.
