In this commit, the 'runnable_weight' field has been removed from the 'cfs_rq' struct in runqlen.bt to align with the current version of Linux, which no longer includes this field.

Reference to the Linux kernel commit (introduced from 5.7-rc1):

torvalds/linux@0dacee1


This script always return 0 as runqlen even when the it is actually non-zero.

Force run 4 processes affinitize'd to a single CPU (say, CPU 20) thereby making the runqlen of CPU 20 - 3-4.

Workload:
# taskset -c 20 stress-ng --cpu 4
stress-ng: info:  [68396] defaulting to a 1 day, 0 secs run per stressor
stress-ng: info:  [68396] dispatching hogs: 4 cpu
..
Running
Run the script while the workload is running
