I understand what your patch done,

On your CPU4:
scheduler_ipi()
-> sched_ttwu_pending()
-> ttwu_do_activate() => p->sched_remote_wakeup should be
false, so ENQUEUE_WAKEUP is set, ENQUEUE_MIGRATED is not
-> ttwu_activate()
-> activate_task()
-> enqueue_task()
-> enqueue_task_fair()
-> enqueue_entity()
bool renorm = !(flags &
ENQUEUE_WAKEUP) || (flags & ENQUEUE_MIGRATE)
so renorm is false in enqueue_entity(), why you mentioned that the
cfs_rq->min_vruntime is still added to the se->vruntime in
enqueue_task_fair()?
