From e2912009fb7b715728311b0d8fe327a1432b3f79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 18:04:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Ensure set_task_cpu() is never called on blocked tasks In order to clean up the set_task_cpu() rq dependencies we need to ensure it is never called on blocked tasks because such usage does not pair with consistent rq->lock usage. This puts the migration burden on ttwu(). Furthermore we need to close a race against changing ->cpus_allowed, since select_task_rq() runs with only preemption disabled. For sched_fork() this is safe because the child isn't in the tasklist yet, for wakeup we fix this by synchronizing set_cpus_allowed_ptr() against TASK_WAKING, which leaves sched_exec to be a problem This also closes a hole in (6ad4c1888 sched: Fix balance vs hotplug race) where ->select_task_rq() doesn't validate the result against the sched_domain/root_domain.
