The warning in cfs_rq_is_decayed() triggered:

    SCHED_WARN_ON(cfs_rq->avg.load_avg ||
		  cfs_rq->avg.util_avg ||
		  cfs_rq->avg.runnable_avg)

There exists a corner case in attach_entity_load_avg() which will
cause load_sum to be zero while load_avg will not be.

Consider se_weight is 88761 as per the sched_prio_to_weight[] table.
Further assume the get_pelt_divider() is 47742, this gives:
se->avg.load_avg is 1.

However, calculating load_sum:

  se->avg.load_sum = div_u64(se->avg.load_avg * se->avg.load_sum, se_weight(se));
  se->avg.load_sum = 1*47742/88761 = 0.

Then enqueue_load_avg() adds this to the cfs_rq totals:

  cfs_rq->avg.load_avg += se->avg.load_avg;
  cfs_rq->avg.load_sum += se_weight(se) * se->avg.load_sum;

Resulting in load_avg being 1 with load_sum is 0, which will trigger
the WARN.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
