I see :)

BTW, some interesting thing we found during the dbench/stress testing
is, by doing:

	echo 240000000 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_latency_ns
        echo NO_GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features

that is sched_latency_ns increased around 10 times and
GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS was disabled, the dbench got it's CPU back.

However, when the group level is too deep, that doesn't works any more...

I'm not sure but seems like 'deep group level' and 'vruntime bonus for
sleeper' is the keep points here, will try to list the root cause after
more investigation, thanks for the hints and suggestions, really helpful ;-)
