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.

+# Check for missing #include <linux/export.h>
+#
+# The rule for including <linux/export.h> is very simple:
+# Include <linux/export.h> only when you use EXPORT_SYMBOL(). That's it.
+#
+# However, some headers include <linux/export.h> even though they are completely
+# unrelated to EXPORT_SYMBOL().
+#
+# One example is include/linux/module.h. Please note <linux/module.h> and
+# <linux/export.h> are orthogonal. <linux/module.h> should be included by files
+# that can be compiled as modules. In other words, <linux/module.h> should be
+# included by EXPORT_SYMBOL consumers. In contrast, <linux/export.h> should be
+# included from EXPORT_SYMBOL providers, which may or may not be modular.
+# Hence, include/linux/module.h should *not* include <linux/export.h>.
+#
+# Another example is include/linux/linkage.h, which is completely unrelated to
+# EXPORT_SYMBOL(). Worse, it is included by most C files, which means, most C
+# files end up including <linux/export.h>, even though only some of them
+# actually export symbols. Hence, include/linux/linkage.h should *not* include
+# <linux/export.h>.
+#
+# Before fixing such headers, we must ensure that C files using EXPORT_SYMBOL()
+# include <linux/export.h> directly, since many C files currently rely on
+# <linux/export.h> being included indirectly (likely, via <linux/linkage> etc.).
+#
+# Therefore, this check.
+#
+# The problem is simple - the warned files use EXPORT_SYMBOL(), but do not
+# include <linux/export.h>. Please add #include <linux/export.h> to them.
+#
+# If the included headers are sorted alphabetically, please insert
+# <linux/export.h> in the appropriate position to maintain the sort order.
+# For this reason, this script only checks missing <linux/export.h>, but
+# does not automatically fix it.
