From 1224e376f2a7e3c7ab19ef37099a78597978a696 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 09:59:20 +1030 Subject: [PATCH] sched: avoid stack var in move_task_off_dead_cpu, fix Impact: locking fix We can't call cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() with the rq lock held. However, the rq lock merely protects us from (1) cpu_online_mask changing and (2) someone else changing p->cpus_allowed. The first can't happen because we're being called from a cpu hotplug notifier. The second doesn't really matter: we are forcing the task off a CPU it was affine to, so we're not doing very well anyway. So we remove the rq lock from this path, and all is good.
