To provide a very smooth service, bfq starts to serve a bfq_queue only if the queue is 'eligible', i.e., if the same queue would have started to be served in the ideal, perfectly fair system that bfq simulates internally. This is obtained by associating each queue with a virtual start time, and by computing a special system virtual time quantity: a queue is eligible only if the system virtual time has reached the virtual start time of the queue. Finally, bfq guarantees that, when a new queue must be set in service, there is always at least one eligible entity for each active parent entity in the scheduler. To provide this guarantee, the function __bfq_lookup_next_entity pushes up, for each parent entity on which it is invoked, the system virtual time to the minimum among the virtual start times of the entities in the active tree for the parent entity (more precisely, the push up occurs if the system virtual time happens to be lower than all such virtual start times). There is however a circumstance in which __bfq_lookup_next_entity cannot push up the system virtual time for a parent entity, even if the system virtual time is lower than the virtual start times of all the child entities in the active tree. It happens if one of the child entities is in service. In fact, in such a case, there is already an eligible entity, the in-service one, even if it may not be not present in the active tree (because in-service entities may be removed from the active tree). Unfortunately, in the last re-design of the hierarchical-scheduling engine, the reset of the pointer to the in-service entity for a given parent entity--reset to be done as a consequence of the expiration of the in-service entity--always happens after the function __bfq_lookup_next_entity has been invoked. This causes the function to think that there is still an entity in service for the parent entity, and then that the system virtual time cannot be pushed up, even if actually such a no-more-in-service entity has already been properly reinserted into the active tree (or in some other tree if no more active). Yet, the system virtual time *had* to be pushed up, to be ready to correctly choose the next queue to serve. Because of the lack of this push up, bfq may wrongly set in service a queue that had been speculatively pre-computed as the possible next-in-service queue, but that would no more be the one to serve after the expiration and the reinsertion into the active trees of the previously in-service entities. This commit addresses this issue by making __bfq_lookup_next_entity properly push up the system virtual time if an expiration is occurring.
