From 0122ec5b02f766c355b3168df53a6c038a24fa0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2011 17:23:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Add p->pi_lock to task_rq_lock() In order to be able to call set_task_cpu() while either holding p->pi_lock or task_rq(p)->lock we need to hold both locks in order to stabilize task_rq(). This makes task_rq_lock() acquire both locks, and have __task_rq_lock() validate that p->pi_lock is held. This increases the locking overhead for most scheduler syscalls but allows reduction of rq->lock contention for some scheduler hot paths (ttwu).
