task_h_load() can return 0 in some situations like running stress-ng mmapfork, which forks thousands of threads, in a sched group on a 224 cores system. The load balance doesn't handle this correctly because env->imbalance never decreases and it will stop pulling tasks only after reaching loop_max, which can be equal to the number of running tasks of the cfs. Make sure that imbalance will be decreased by at least 1. misfit task is the other feature that doesn't handle correctly such situation although it's probably more difficult to face the problem because of the smaller number of CPUs and running tasks on heterogenous system. We can't simply ensure that task_h_load() returns at least one because it would imply to handle underflow in other places.

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.
