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.

+ Layer Two Tunneling Protocol
+
+ From RFC 2661 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2661.txt>.
+
+ L2TP facilitates the tunneling of packets across an
+ intervening network in a way that is as transparent as
+ possible to both end-users and applications.
+
+ L2TP is often used to tunnel PPP traffic over IP
+ tunnels. One IP tunnel may carry thousands of individual PPP
+ connections. L2TP is also used as a VPN protocol, popular
+ with home workers to connect to their offices.
+
+ L2TPv3 allows other protocols as well as PPP to be carried
+ over L2TP tunnels. L2TPv3 is defined in RFC 3931
+ <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3931.txt>.
+
+ The kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
+ userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
+ and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
+ (http://openl2tp.org/).
+
+ If you don't need L2TP, say N. To compile all L2TP code as
+ modules, choose M here.

+ Layer Two Tunneling Protocol Version 3
+
+ From RFC 3931 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3931.txt>.
+
+ The Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) provides a dynamic
+ mechanism for tunneling Layer 2 (L2) "circuits" across a
+ packet-oriented data network (e.g., over IP). L2TP, as
+ originally defined in RFC 2661, is a standard method for
+ tunneling Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [RFC1661] sessions.
+ L2TP has since been adopted for tunneling a number of other
+ L2 protocols, including ATM, Frame Relay, HDLC and even raw
+ ethernet frames.
+
+ If you are connecting to L2TPv3 equipment, or you want to
+ tunnel raw ethernet frames using L2TP, say Y here. If
+ unsure, say N.
+
+config L2TP_IP
+ tristate "L2TP IP encapsulation for L2TPv3"
+ depends on L2TP_V3
+ help
+ Support for L2TP-over-IP socket family.
+
+ The L2TPv3 protocol defines two possible encapsulations for
+ L2TP frames, namely UDP and plain IP (without UDP). This
+ driver provides a new L2TPIP socket family with which
+ userspace L2TPv3 daemons may create L2TP/IP tunnel sockets
+ when UDP encapsulation is not required. When L2TP is carried
+ in IP packets, it used IP protocol number 115, so this port
+ must be enabled in firewalls.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
+ will be called l2tp_ip.
+
+config L2TP_ETH
+ tristate "L2TP ethernet pseudowire support for L2TPv3"
+ depends on L2TP_V3
+ help
+ Support for carrying raw ethernet frames over L2TPv3.
+
+ From RFC 4719 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4719.txt>.
+
+ The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol, Version 3 (L2TPv3) can be
+ used as a control protocol and for data encapsulation to set
+ up Pseudowires for transporting layer 2 Packet Data Units
+ across an IP network [RFC3931].
+
+ This driver provides an ethernet virtual interface for each
+ L2TP ethernet pseudowire instance. Standard Linux tools may
+ be used to assign an IP address to the local virtual
+ interface, or add the interface to a bridge.
+
+ If you are using L2TPv3, you will almost certainly want to
+ enable this option.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
+ will be called l2tp_eth.
