--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit 28156108fecb1f808b21d216e8ea8f0d205a530c ]
The commit 2ebb17717550 ("sched/core: Offload wakee task activation if it the wakee is descheduling") checked rq->nr_running <= 1 to avoid task stacking when WF_ON_CPU.
Per the ordering of writes to p->on_rq and p->on_cpu, observing p->on_cpu (WF_ON_CPU) in ttwu_queue_cond() implies !p->on_rq, IOW p has gone through the deactivate_task() in __schedule(), thus p has been accounted out of rq->nr_running. As such, the task being the only runnable task on the rq implies reading rq->nr_running == 0 at that point.
The benchmark result is in [1].
