iocost implements work conservation by reducing iocg->inuse and propagating the adjustment upwards proportionally. However, while I knew the target absolute hierarchical proportion - adjusted hweight_inuse, I couldn't figure out how to determine the iocg->inuse adjustment to achieve that and approximated the adjustment by scaling iocg->inuse using the proportion of the needed hweight_inuse changes. When nested, these scalings aren't accurate even when adjusting a single node as the donating node also receives the benefit of the donated portion. When multiple nodes are donating as they often do, they can be wildly wrong. iocost employed various safety nets to combat the inaccuracies. There are ample buffers in determining how much to donate, the adjustments are conservative and gradual. While it can achieve a reasonable level of work conservation in simple scenarios, the inaccuracies can easily add up leading to significant loss of total work. This in turn makes it difficult to closely cap vrate as vrate adjustment is needed to compensate for the loss of work. The combination of inaccurate donation calculations and vrate adjustments can lead to wide fluctuations and clunky overall behaviors. Andy Newell devised a method to calculate the needed ->inuse updates to achieve the target hweight_inuse's. The method is compatible with the proportional inuse adjustment propagation which allows all hot path operations to be local to each iocg. To roughly summarize, Andy's method divides the tree into donating and non-donating parts, calculates global donation rate which is used to determine the target hweight_inuse for each node, and then derives per-level proportions. There's non-trivial amount of math involved. Please refer to the following pdfs for detailed descriptions. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PsJwxPFtjUnwOY1QJ5AeICCcsL7BM3bo https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vONz1-fzVO7oY5DXXsLjSxEtYYQbOvsE https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WcrltBOSPN0qXVdBgnKm4mdp9FhuEFQN This patch implements Andy's method in transfer_surpluses(). This makes the donation calculations accurate per cycle and enables further improvements in other parts of the donation logic.

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.
